es, dogs are kept happy and out of trouble exclusively through the use of the most humane methods and positive reinforcement dog trainingWhy Positive Reinforcement Training?
- When learning through positive reinforcement, dogs have fun while learning, which facilitates the learning process.
- Dogs trained using positive reinforcement methods become more confident from earning the things that they want as a result of their own actions.
- Using positive reinforcement dog training makes your dog think, and thus reduces excess energy and satisfies your dog's need for mental stimulation.
- Positive reinforcement dog training is rooted in learning theory and science.
- Positive reinforcement dog training creates a bond between the dog and dog trainer/human as well as positive associations with doing the behaviors that are desired of them

Does your dog pull on the leash? Does he have a great desire to chase after and discover new things that makes him a little difficult to walk? Friend to the Furry's Walk & Train services can help you and your dog enjoy your time outdoors together more by using humane, gentle, and fun dog training methods which decrease your dogs unwanted behaviors by motivating them to do the right thing instead.
The Walk & Train service includes 5 walks and a consultation/skill transferring session for each week of dog training. Walks are done as hourly one-on-one dog training sessions between the dog and the trainer in order to achieve maximum results in the shortest amount of time possible. A complimentary goal assessment ensures desired results, which can be seen and enjoyed as early as your first transferring session after the first week!

after a relaxing vacation. Have certified dog trainer Jen Strum stay
with your dog while you are away, and come home to a better trained dog.
