Why Train?
Besides helping to manage behavior problems, training can help you and your family build a better relationship with your dog! Our goal is to teach dogs good manners and habits, and to help prevent bad ones before they begin. With improved training you’ll enjoy your dog more at home, be able to take your dog more places, and enjoy more activities with your dog.
How Do We Train?
We believe training can and should be positive and fun for people and dogs. We use positive methods based on theories of operant conditioning to make learning fun, fast, and easy. In the 22 years since founding Puppy Love, thousands of dogs of all ages have been successfully educated with our revolutionary “clicker” training method. This method is scientifically proven to be effective, fast, successful, and humane. The use of a clicker gives us a fast way to communicate desired behaviors to our dogs. No harsh training methods are used.
WARNING!! All dog trainers are NOT the same. All dog training methods are NOT the same. Which trainer and which method you choose can be a matter of life or death for your dog, we aren’t kidding. We know that there is no need to yank or jerk your best friend around in order to train him.
Our goal is to make training fun, easy, and effective for people and for dogs. Tell us what you need, and we will do our best to help you reach your goals.
How is Puppy Love Different?
- We have a privately owned indoor and fenced outdoor training area set up just for training dogs. Our indoor area is matted and has central air conditioning and heating.
- Our instructors are all extremely experienced, trained professionals with years of training experience and advanced education (see our instructors’s biographies by clicking on “About Puppy Love”). Our instructors understand that our real goal is to educate YOU, the pet owner, on how to train and manage your dog so that you will have continued success AFTER the class is over.
- We are located at America’s Country Store at 14675 Wellborn Rd. This is a top quality store featuring high end natural dog foods, treats, a wide variety of toys, and hard to find training equipment.
- We really care about helping you and your dog become a successful partnership. Our training methods are science based, proven effective, and use positive reinforcement to enhance the relationship between you and your dog.
- Our classes are very small, usually 6-8 dogs per class.
- We have a full set of Agility equipment.
- We are a small, locally owned and operated business. Our head trainer is a veterinarian (A&M ’79,’80,’83) with advanced training in behavior modification.
There’s a reason we have been in business for 22 years: We treat people AND dogs with kindness and respect.
