Formal dog training has roots in the military for protection, scent training, and rescue work. When training was practiced, it was thought that you had to be firm, strong, aversive, and forceful to get the dog to be consistent and successful at he’s job. However, now with scientific advancements and positive reinforcement better well known we’re able to change that way of thinking for our pups at home for the better well being! Just as the world of raising children has changed over the past decade, so has dog training. The results are phenomenal, and now we’re able to train any dog to do any such skills with a little time, patience, and confidence building of our dogs. You can say for the dog owners of today, we should start referring it to dog “teaching” rather “training.”

                At Positive Paws, we don’t believe in performing punishment towards behaviors we don’t like because in reality our dogs don’t speak English and don’t really “know better.” We change, and redirect the unwanted behaviors and replace them with something amazing and impressive. We create a communication system in the puppy levels of education that they AND us can understand and use. In the puppy education levels we imply the clicker method, which originated use with marine life training. Yes like whales!

If a whale can follow a chain of command, you sure can bet your puppy can!!

                After you’re able to create this communication system, those frustrations and assumptions of the past start to fade away and oppose to aversive training you won’t have any backlashes! Check out each level of our puppy school and see if Northwest Pet Clinic Positive Paws it the place for your pooch to grow!
