TEACHING HUMANS
The most important thing you can do for your dog is provide training.
Whether you are preparing a new puppy for a confident life of adventures with the family or tackling some difficult behavioral problems that popped up and somehow got out of hand along the way,
creating a common language for communication and building trust between you and your dog starts with training,
and
TRAINING STARTS WITH YOU ​
Bark dog training offers professional evidence-based training that is simple and manageable
for any owner who wants to learn regardless of their level of knowledge or skill in dog handling.
Let me teach you how to help your dog reach their fullest potential.
TRAINING DOGS
"Your dog is doing the best it can with the information you are providing"
Think about it...
We send kids to school, teach them about life, set house rules, give them chores or enroll them in sports...
Why?
To teach them expectations, boundaries, socialization, structure, communication, relationships, etc.
Why should we expect our dogs to function in our society without giving them any guidance?
Training gives your dog that guide to understanding the human world and a way to communicate their needs.
​
To achieve your training goals, we teach your dog a simple language to guide them to confidently learn about the human world and understand what your expectations are. Once your dog understands those expectations, we can build motivation for those expectations so that your dog chooses the "right" behavior when given agency.
