About us
• 25+ years of experience
• Trains puppies & dogs of all ages, breeds and mixes
• Serves Fraser Valley in beautiful British Columbia -- Offering professional canine services for puppy and dog owners in Abbotsford, Aldergrove, Mission, Chilliwack, Langley, Surrey and White Rock
Why Gentle Puppy Training?
• In the past, dog training methods relied heavily on aversive means of motivation. Puppy owners were told not to begin training until 6 months of age - not because of inability to learn, but because puppies were unable to understand the coercive and hurtful techniques.
• In the early eighties, dog training was revolutionized by positive reinforcement methods such as lure-reward training. Studies began to show that there is no minimum age as to when you can start training your puppy - because there is no limit to what puppies can learn when training is fun and rewarding!
• Training your puppy at an early age means you can begin instilling good manners BEFORE bad habits and unruliness become entrenched! It makes use of the critical socialization period to habituate your puppy to all kinds of people (especially children, men and strangers).
• Young puppy training creates a “learning to learn” environment, where your puppy’s brain is stimulated and paves the way for later learning, and it allows for troubleshooting of common problems such as play-biting, house training and unruliness.
• Gentle Puppy Training is easy, effective and fun! It can be done by ALL family members - including children. And YES -- Gentle Puppy Training is dedicated to puppies and DOGS of ALL breeds & mixes too. We are not racist!
