You Silly Dog uses compassionate, effective, pain and force-free training methods based on positive reinforcement. Alisa wants to help you build trust and cooperation between you and your dog, therefore she does not advocate the use of choke, prong and shock collars, or aversive methods such as yelling and hitting. She will teach you how to be proactive rather than reactive, to teach rather than correct, to reward rather than punish, to guide and not force, to show your four-legged friend respect and meet them at their level.

What is Positive Dog Training
Report
It is a gentle, yet effective approach to training-a modern science-based alternative to punitive "traditional" training. Often referred to as "force-free" training, it is based on the psychology of how an animal learns. The philosophy focuses on encouraging and rewarding a dog's good behavior. It also emphasizes having a well-mannered dog over having an "obedient" dog.
Rescue Dog Training
Report
We often don't know what our new dogs have experienced in their past. The reasons given to the shelter or rescue aren't always the complete story. Your dog may have been found as a stray or given up by his previous people for unknown reasons. Worse yet, he or she may have been discarded after being used in a puppy mill.
FAQs
Report
As soon as possible! There is a lot of training and education needed for both puppies and their parents. I'd recommend starting right away so we can go over how to potty and crate train your new puppy, how to start getting puppy comfortable being left alone, how to reduce nipping and chewing and similar puppy concerns.
Training Tips
Report
Always address the "whys" - what's happening on the inside of your dog to manifest the external behavior. I make suggestions but never mandates. Be wary of anyone who says "you must do it this way" or doesn't have a valid explanation for why. It can be very hard to stand up for yourself and your dog, especially when you are paying a professional.
