Training Methods

Divine Dog Training
Some people get inspiration from stories, some from nature.
Dogs find both inspiration and purpose in a job well done through training.
The dog’s owner is inspired to be a great teacher and learns how to earn leadership.
The dog learns to love its owner even more.

Integrated Training Techniques

The root of the word “obedience,” means to listen. We often think of an obedient dog as one that listens to its owner’s commands or direction. This is primarily what our customers want. They want a dog that listens and is therefore, manageable.

Garvin’s method of dog training tucson has always been based on using a behavior modification approach. In the study of behavior modification with people, we learn that all decisions are based on seeking rewards and/or avoiding consequences. This is also true for animals.

Herein lies the need for integrating both rewards and consequences, into a harmonious whole. While Garvin’s trainers are all “pawsitively” as positive as possible, they also believe in discipline. We are proud to offer you the wide range of tools in our tool box.
