What we liked best about the Chilliwack puppy class: Instructor Deb was very good. She was knowledgeable, experienced and had an excellent demeanour with both people and the dogs. She was able to answer questions to more difficult scenarios specific to our own dogs needs. Having class notes to remember all the details was very helpful. Thank you!
We needed help training our friendly, exuberant but sometimes bad-mannered pup, Roxy, who was about 15 months at the time of our first consultation. We completed 8 private lessons with Jill and Connie last month and couldn’t have been more pleased with the results.
The lessons started with learning how to improve engaging in play with our dog and moved on to door manners, leash walking and later recall training. Jill and Connie were knowledgeable and very encouraging. We started seeing improvements even after the first couple of lessons. We also noticed that Roxy was becoming more affectionate and trying to engage in play with us as the lessons progressed.
Roxy’s manners have improved, and leash walking has become far more enjoyable for all of us. We continue to work with her and see progress, utilizing all the great tools and tips Jill provided us. Thanks Chilliwack Dog Training!
Dog Training Method: Marker Training Sessions
What is marker (or clicker) training?
In a nutshell, it’s an animal training method based on behavioural psychology that relies on marking desirable behaviour and rewarding it. This black and white method of communication is based on positive reinforcement and will revolutionize the way that you train your dog.
This class will teach you about the power of training your dog with food and will focus on building the dog/handler relationship through engagement and motivation. During the class you will learn the basic concepts of luring, leash pressure and shaping of behaviours. We will also cover classical/operant conditioning and discuss how to build motivation in your dog through productive play. Marker training can be used to train any behaviour, from basic obedience and tricks to behavioural modification.
