Dog's Day Out

At DDO we use a scientific, evidence based method of training that is Cooperative, Effective and Fun! We practice force-free, fear-free training offering clients several different ways to work with their dogs all of which involve gentle, kind and fair techniques. We teach students using "mark & reward" training that can involve the use of a clicker, or a verbal marker if the client is not comfortable using a clicker. We do not use leash "corrections" and shock collars, choke chains and pinch/prong collars are never used.

Our private dog training programs specialize in behavior modification, problem solving and positive guidance for dogs of all ages. At Dog's Day Out we help you train your dog with one-on-one guidance by using science based, positive reinforcement dog training methods that involve force-free and fear free techniques for your pup.

What is a "reactive" dog? Reactive dogs are dogs who are displaying certain behaviors when in the presence of their triggers. These behaviors may include: barking, lunging, pulling, whining and the inability to engage with their human handler in that moment. Triggers may be dogs, people, squirrels, bikes, skateboards.

In our K9 Nosework series we will introduce you to this new sport and literally watch your dog follow his nose to success! You will be amazed at how excited your dog is to search for his favorite toy, food and the three scents used in K9 Nosework competitions. Scent work has become increasingly popular because every dog has a nose (that smells about 4000X greater than ours)!
