OUR Training Methods & Approaches

Training is only one piece of a bigger puzzle.

Often traditional training alone is not as effective as one thinks. Experienced, good trainers know that each dog is different, and what may work with one dog doesn’t necessarily apply to the others.

Aside from General Obedience training, we train in groups, homes, classes, or strict programs like Boarding Camp.

For detailed information about our training style, please read more about our Training Methods.

Dog Psychology: A Word From The Owner

As a Canine Specialist, much of my experience in training has cultivated a deeper understanding of psychological factors, which most traditional training methods do not consider.

There are just certain things that you can’t teach, or find in any book.

For details on the services and rates we offer, please see our Services Page.

Satisfaction Guaranteed

The Goal is to show you the best way to approach your dog's behavior issues, in only 1 or 2 sessions.

We are absolutely greatful. Our family is so much nicer! We stuck with what tools you gave us and theyve learned
quickly! I am still in AWE at how easy this was!

Alex is patient, kind, and extremely knowledgeable. Having 3 dogs, my house was in chaos. In ONE session I was able
to learn the proper techniques to getting my loved ones under control. And it took ONE week of consistent
techniques for my babies to learn it. He is truly a life saver!!!

Alex is a true Dog whisperer, his talent is pure and obvious He has changed the behavior of my little stubborn guy who
is 7 years oldHe proved to me that even an old dog will train fast with the right input My advice is book a time and see
for yourself

Our 2 maltipoos were picky eaters and also were obsessed with barking by the door whenever they heard any noise. We went through months changing their food and tries another trainer. The very next day after Alex helped us, they ate all their food perfectly and have so far. He showed us how to be a pack and with his methods, we were able to curb then eliminate the problem with the door. Theres a lot that you get with just one session, not only the training. We are very grateful to you!

At How To Make A Dog, we follow LIMA principles when assessing and implementing a training plan.

LIMA stands for “Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive”. As this
motto would suggest, the aim of LIMA training is to use the least
intrusive, minimally aversive option out of a range of strategies
available to teach a dog the right way to behave.

We use the LIMA framework to help systematically decide on the
most humane training solution. It’s all about taking the time to
understand the dog and the behavior in question to decide on the
training method that will cause the least amount of stress possible
for a dog.

LIMA provides a range of alternative options we can use,
such as:

ensuring that health issues aren’t causing the behavior
putting environmental management strategies in place
training using positive reinforcement

If you like the sound of the LIMA, and the the Pack Leader
philosophy, then we are the right training business for you!

At ‘How To Make A Dog’ we believe that Dog Training doesn’t have to be super expensive, and can actually be a fun, new journey that will positively change you and your furry babys’ lives, without more than 1 or 2 sessions- guaranteed!
