Dream Dogz philosophy is aligned with the Animal Welfare Act:
It is the cornerstone of our philosophy and it ensures that you and your dog will be having a stress-free, positive experience. We use solely, animal-friendly, non-coercive, scientifically tested and proven techniques.
Simply put: “The carrot is better than the stick!”. Positive Reinforcement has repeatedly produced better results than any form of punishment. Our goal is to turn you into your own dog's trainer by:
We use solely reward-based methods. Our preferred training tool is the Clicker (i.e. bridge conditioning) but we have owners that prefer using a different bridge (e.g. Dog Whistle) or, due to physical limitations (e.g. the dog being hearing impaired) a visual bridge (e.g. a torch or a visual cue). The use of a Target Stick is also encouraged.
We are committed to providing the best possible training services for you and your dog. It is of the uttermost importance to identify the reasons behind specific and usually problematic behaviours, as they can be related to health, training, management and/or enrichment. This is the main reason why we require you to complete a Profile form for your dog (provided after initial enquiry) prior to any training program commencement.
