About Us
CANINE MEDITATION
Each of our training plans features a heavy focus on canine meditation. This is the process of rewarding a dog for calming their own nervous system. The result is a regulated dog who is better equipped to interact with the world around them.
Proper Counterconditioning and desensitization
Proper behavior modification is truly about exposing your dog to stimuli as slow as humanly possible, at a rate where your dog isn't showing any signs of stress (ideally). Over time, we adjust the intensity, distance, and/or duration of exposure while simultaneously reinforcing nervous system regulation. Proper counterconditioning should be "like watching paint dry."
Science-Based Training Techniques
Our trainers use science-based training techniques that have been proven to be effective in modifying dog behavior. We believe in using methods that are based on the latest research in animal behavior and psychology to help dogs learn and thrive. Our methods are fear-free, trauma-informed, and force-free, always.
WE'LL DO THE WORK (with you)!
We will work with your dog one-on-one throughout the duration of your behavior modification plan, every day. You are more than welcome to sit in on training sessions to learn the process, but it is not required! You will receive training updates from each session which include notes, photos, and videos. If you are interested but unable to join in on the regularly scheduled training, we are happy to book dedicated transfer sessions for you to participate in.
Comprehensive Plans
During our consult, we'll determine if you or your dog may benefit from some of our additional services. This may include hikes to get some energy out, dayschool to practice basic manners throughout the day, or boarding to give you a breather while we complete the behavior modification plan! These additional services are all about meeting the needs of you and your pup.
Near or far...
We offer daily in-home training sessions (generally Monday-Friday) to clients in southern Maine and New Hampshire. If you're outside of the area, we are more than happy to schedule an aversive-free board-and-train program where your pup will come spend a few weeks with us to acquire new skills. We offer remote training sessions as well via video call!
