About our training program
Paws on a Journey has partnered with a certified professional dog trainer who oversees all of our training programs,
evaluates every dog individually, and mentors our team through the process. Our team is actively completing professional
certification under his direct guidance, meaning every training session your dog receives is backed by certified expertise
from the ground up. We don't believe in cookie cutter training. Every dog is different - from low drive family pets to high
energy working breeds like Malinois, cattle dogs, and shepherds. We train the dog in front of us.
Our training philosophy
We believe in personalized training that recognizes the unique temperament of each dog and handler team. Our methods are built
on motivation - developing confidence, trust, and willing participation through humane, consistent, and emotionally intelligent
training. We view every dog as an individual student to be taught with methods appropriate to their unique talents and drives.
We also recognize that training is a serious pursuit. Behavioural challenges require real solutions, and we hold our dogs
accountable in a fair and structured way - because that's what it means to be an ethical steward of the animals we love.
Our 3 phase training system
- Phase 1 - Learning: We start with a mostly motivational approach to build a clear understanding of expectations. We never correct behaviour the dog doesn't yet understand. This phase builds a confident, comfortable foundation and sets the dog up for success.
- Phase 2 - Fluency: Once the dog understands the behaviour we begin refining it. Adding limitations, increasing precision, and building reliability. Do this, not that - with clear and fair guidance throughout.
- Phase 3 - Generalization & Proofing: The final phase adds new environments, distractions, and real world elements. When a dog truly understands a behaviour at this level it carries it deeper and longer throughout their life.
Our training methods
We incorporate all four quadrants of operant conditioning as well as classical conditioning. Our programs draw on proven
principles including free shaping, the Premack principle, and back chaining. Corrections are always light, fair, and used
as guidance - never introduced before understanding is firmly established.
Breeds & experience
Our trainer has worked with a wide range of breeds and temperaments - from low drive pets with minimal food motivation to
highly driven working breeds including Belgian Malinois, German Shepherds, and cattle dogs. Whether your dog is soft and
sensitive or stubborn and independent, we know how to meet them where they are.
