dOG training that works
At Northwood Animal Hospital our training philosophy is simple: To help our clients build a healthy, positive, fun and mutually cooperative relationship with their dog. All of our training programs are designed using positive motivational techniques, clear communication, and respect for both the pet and the guardian.
We believe and promote the position statements developed by the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior (AVSAB) which recommends that training should focus on reinforcing desired behaviors with reward-based training methods to motivate them rather than focus on using fear or pain to punish for undesirable behaviors.
We will be offering a variety of training programs that will be developed to help you reach all of your goals with your dog. You can find more information on our program(s) availability by calling us at 336-887-2606 and asking to speak with our Dog Trainer Kaitlyn Jones or by emailing her directly at [email protected].
For information please email our trainer at [email protected]. Please note it can take up to 48 business hours for a response.
