Online Pet Behavior Training and Coaching Works Because:
1. You have the capacity to teach your dog how to behave, you just need clear instructions from a professional about how to do it.
2. You need to learn how to best respond to your dog's behavior in order to reinforce the behavior you want. Pet owners often have been poorly advised by well-meaning peers, family, or other professionals who are not behavior experts. Online Pet Behavior Training and Coaching will educate about how to best respond to modify behavior.
3. You don't understand canine body language as well as you think you do. Most owners need a lesson in canine body language. Once you can better assess what your dog is communicating, you can make effective interventions quickly. Most owners don't recognize the early cues that behavior is about to derail. Online Pet Behavior Training and Coaching can help.
4. You worked with a trainer before who used outdated methods that damaged your dog's ability to trust you. There are many "professional trainers" still using outdated and ineffective training methods (i.e. dominance theory, alpha theory, the use of pain and/or force to try to stop a dog's fear or anxiety - which never works). These training methods cause damage to the dog-human bond. As a result of broken trust, your dog doesn't accept instruction from you. However, dogs are incredibly resilient and forgiving. We can repair your relationship with Online Pet Behavior Training and Coaching.
5. You need an accountability partner to educate you about how and to encourage you to practice training your dog. Appropriately timed and clearly structured training sessions with your dog will develop a positive healthy dog-human relationship. This will encourage your dog to look to you for guidance. It doesn't matter if a trainer can control your dog's behavior, you need to do it. Online Pet Behavior Training and Coaching can help make this happen.
6. You need a professional to observe you and your dog in action and give you feedback. Videos of your dog's behavior, while you train together, are highly effective at helping an online trainer isolate ways to adjust your technique or determine if the training plan needs adjustment.
7. You need help preventing your dog from practicing unwanted behaviors. Techniques to manage and prevent your dog from rehearsing undesired behavior do not require an in-person presence. Online Pet Behavior Training and Coaching can help.
8. You are already asking strangers on the internet for help. We are all very quick to turn to social media or google for guidance. Well-meaning people often provide out-dated, non-evidence-based, unsafe and/or unhelpful advice without assessing your dog's history and needs. The best way to use the internet to ask for help is by reaching out to a pet behavior professional who can provide Online Pet Behavior Training and Coaching,
9. You need convenient and affordable help that can come to you. The convenience of Zoom and the lower cost for training due to no travel fees makes it significantly easier to ask for help and access help quickly. Geographic location is no longer an obstacle. Online Pet Behavior Training and Coaching can offer help quickly regardless of where you are located without the need to transport your dog.
10. You didn't realize Online Pet Behavior Training and Coaching was even a thing! There are many other effective options, such as in-person training, day-school training, and force-free/pain-free board and train programs, that can help. But don't rule out the utility of Online Pet Behavior Training and Coaching. It may be exactly what you need.
