Obedience training and manners training are two different types of dog training that focus on different aspects of a dog’s behaviour. Obedience training is focused on teaching dogs specific commands and behaviours that are useful for their daily routines. This includes commands like “sit,” “stay,” “come,” and “heel.” The goal of obedience training is to teach dogs to respond to these commands reliably and predictably. In contrast, manners training is focused on teaching dogs to exercise good manners in social situations. This includes behaviors like not jumping on people, not barking excessively, and not pulling on the leash while walking. The goal of manners training is to create a more harmonious relationship between the dog and its owner.

Canine behaviour modification is a type of dog training that focuses on modifying a dog’s behaviour to reduce unwanted behaviours and increase desired behaviours. This type of training is often used to address issues such as aggression, anxiety, fear, and other behavioural problems. Behaviour modification techniques used in canine training include habituation, extinction, desensitization, counterconditioning, response substitution, and shaping.

What is your approach to pet training?
Our dog training program is grounded in science-based, positive reinforcement methods. We believe in creating a safe, supportive environment that promotes learning and encourages dogs to enjoy training.
Is my pet too old to be trained?
It is a common misconception that older pets cannot be trained. However, it is never too late to train your pet, regardless of their age. In fact, older pets may be easier to train than younger ones because they have a longer attention span, better self-control, and are less energetic.
​
The key to training an older pet is to be patient and consistent with your training methods. You may need to adapt your training techniques to your pet’s abilities and needs. It is also important to keep in mind that older pets may have physical limitations that can affect their ability to learn new things.
​
In conclusion, it is never too late to train your pet. With patience, consistency, and the right training techniques, you can teach your pet new tricks and behaviors, regardless of their age.
