Humane, Positive Reinforcement Methods
Effective training with your dog’s emotional and physical well-being in mind
Our Approach
Behaviour modification is an in depth program that uses a variety of approaches with the goal of changing how a dog feels, think and then acts. Common challenges that are addressed through behaviour modifcation plans may include resource guarding, fear of people, dogs, situations; rescue dogs adapting to their new home, etc.
With behaviour modification you can expect that we will use reward based training techniques, games and other strategies to gradually improve your dogs physiological and emotional welfare, so that they can learn to act differently.
Techniques we don’t use: tools such as electronic vibration, shock, prong, spray, physical corrections or techniques intended to stop or suppress the outward behaviour using discomfort, fear, anxiety or pain. We do not provide guarantees – outcomes vary by dog, family, environment and many other variables. Check out the Humane training resources at the bottom of this page for more information.
Behaviour Modification services are provided in a combination of virtual and/or in-person at our location in Bloomfield, PEC; at our discretion.

Humane Training
Essential to a well-adjusted, happy, & confident dog.
In an unregulated industry such as dog training, it’s important to understand the facts around methodology and the effects on your dog’s physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
Both the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association and American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior have released statements addressing the benefits of humane training methods, and the unintended fallout of more “traditional” methods.
