Denali Kennels no longer offers on site
or on premise training, however, we'd be happy to talk
to you about training issues or problems and if needed,
refer you to a local trainer.
Dog Training Methods
A well trained dog is
achieved through positive reinforcement of acceptable
behavior, rewarding the dog using praise and fun as
opposed to using food or treats to coerce the dog into
performing and correction of unwanted or dangerous
behavior. We want the dog to perform well because it
wants to please you, the dog owner. Additionally, we
spend quite a bit of time teaching the owner and family
how to positively interact with your pet in your
environment. For this reason we ONLY offer one on one
training services at your home as opposed to large
groups where we cannot provide the individual attention
required to ensure you and your pet are confident and
comfortable.
There is no one method,
one tool, one way to train that works for every dog.
Each animal is an individual and you must be able to
determine what drive your dog is working in and what
motivation works best for each one.
Dog Training services
-
Puppy kindergarten
- Puppies from 9 weeks to 6 months are welcome in
these classes. Upon receiving your new puppy, it is
important to ensure the puppy and the owners get off
on the right paw! We'll cover basic obedience,
bonding with the new pack, puppy psychology, as well
as commands and recall.
-
Behavior modification
- If your pet exhibits behavioral issues such as
door bolting, house training issues, counter
surfing, lack of recall, aggression or other behaviors which
could lead to a lower quality of life for your pet
and family, our behavior modification class will
address and correct those unwanted behaviors.
