Pet Training involves teaching them behaviors and commands
Training companion pets involves teaching them behaviors and commands that enhance their ability to live harmoniously with humans (Parrot Training coming soon). Training not only helps your pet become well-behaved but also strengthens the bond between you and your companion. Here are some key aspects:- Basic Commands
- Sit: A foundational command that helps establish control.
- Stay: Teaches the pet to remain in place until released.
- Come: Essential for safety, this command ensures your pet returns to you.
- Positive Reinforcement
- Use treats, praise, and playtime to reward desired behaviors.
- This encourages pets to repeat those behaviors.
- Socialization
- Expose pets to different environments, people, and other animals to reduce fear and aggression.
- Start early, ideally during puppy or kitten stages, but older pets can still benefit.
- Consistency
- Use the same commands and cues consistently.
- Everyone in the household should be on the same page to avoid confusion.
- Patience and Timing
- Keep training sessions short at home (5-10 minutes) to maintain your pet’s attention.
- Be patient; some pets may take longer to learn than others.
- Our training sessions may be longer because we are training the owner(s) to train the pet too!
- Addressing Behavioral Issues
- Identify triggers for negative behaviors (like barking or chewing) and address them calmly.
- Redirect behaviors instead of punishing, focusing on teaching what is acceptable.
- Engagement and Enrichment
- Use toys and interactive games to keep pets mentally stimulated.
- This can prevent boredom-related behaviors.
- Professional Help
- Consider classes with us for complex behaviors or if you're struggling.
- We also offer group classes that can also provide socialization opportunities. (COMING SOON)
- Health and Well-being
- Ensure your pet is healthy; sometimes behavioral issues stem from discomfort or illness.
- Regular vet check-ups can help maintain overall well-being.
