Frequently Asked Questions
Why Train Your Dog?
Obedience training is the most important aspect of raising a dog. In fact, a well trained dog is a far happier dog! Training serves to strengthen the bond between a dog and thier owner. It builds communication, understanding and mutal respect.
How Early Should a Puppy Start Training?
The best time to start your puppy in training is around 2 months. They must have all thier shots (for thier safety), and be ready to meet other puppies. They retain experiences really well at this age—a GREAT time for them to start learning!
What Is Positive Reinforcement?
Positive reinforcement is when you
reward a good behavior!
Why ABC?? (ABCDT)
ABC's Training Program began by teaching me how to build a proper canine/human relationship. It is thier philosophy that creating a relationship built on positive interaction and consistency can often deter future unwanted behavior problems, facilitate faster learning and even solve some existing behavioral challenges.
From there, ABC taught me to teach new behaviors through luring, shaping, capturing or molding. ABC's Training Philosophy followed the scientific behavioral principles of operant conditioning and involved using the least aversive approach possible in every training case.
Animal Behavior College (ABC) believes there are many different types of training methods that work. While the ABC Curriculum primarily focuses on and encourages the use of positive reinforcement training techniques, they also provided me with an overall education on correction and punishment. Although thier bias is toward the use of positive reinforcement, they believe instruction which incorporates a variety of training methods and ideologies will provided the most comprehensive education for me.
