OUR
PHILOSOPHY
Owning and training a dog is an active, evolving, and sometimes challenging process. Practice, support and experience can help to increase our abilities to meet those challenges the way we want to—in creative, positive, fair, and effective ways that make every dog a pleasure to own and live with.
With training, your dog can happily learn to:
Tolerate other dogs & people
Sit and lie down on command
Come when called
Permit handling & grooming
Be safe around children
Stop biting & chewing
Be quiet on command
Walk politely on a loose leash
Dog training should meet standards and measurable criteria. It should hold up in the presence of ordinary environmental distractions including other dogs and people of all kinds, kids on bikes, skateboards, etc. It takes a skilled instructor to teach owners how to train to specific criteria and those instructors can be hard to find.
At Prairie Skies, our approach to training will enable you to establish and meet criteria and produce transparent results, where anyone who is watching can see that the dog is calmly, confidently, quietly and instantly responsive to you under all situations.
