Positive Reinforcement Training

At Rob Cary Pet Resort, we take pride in our effective dog training program centered around positive reinforcement. We believe in the power of kindness and respect for all animals, an ethos championed by Caryl Scrimpsher since the 1970s. Just as you wouldn't harshly punish a child for minor mistakes, this philosophy extends to how we train pets. By creating a fun and empowering training environment, we foster obedience and strengthen the vital bond between pets and their owners.

Understanding Modern Training Methods

Historically, dog training often mirrored military discipline, relying heavily on punishment-based methods. We at Rob Cary believe training should be a positive experience for both the trainer and the trainee. Our modern approach incorporates LIMA strategies—Least Invasive, Minimally Aversive methods. This means we engage in just enough intervention to encourage good behavior without causing anxiety or fear. As a result, our pets learn that they can trust their owners and feel secure within their environment.

Fostering Two-Way Relationships

Our training classes go beyond simple dog obedience training; they cultivate a healthy, two-way relationship between you and your pet. Our experienced trainers emphasize understanding your dog's perspective. Training should not be about imposing your will for convenience but addressing feelings of hesitation or fear with empathy. Recognizing these emotions is crucial for fostering a trusting and rewarding relationship.

Respecting Our Pets as Individuals

Pets are not mere possessions; they are living beings with their thoughts and emotions. They may not grow up like children, but they certainly deserve the same level of respect and understanding. With thousands of years of companionship history, dogs have developed a profound bond with humans. At Rob Cary, we're committed to helping you honor that bond by guiding you through understanding your pet’s body language and needs.
