Smart dogs are the ones that think of creative ways to communicate their needs.

Dog Training that makes sense

Values Based Dog Training.

Brainy Dog's unique program called Values Based Dog Training puts training in the hands of guardians in a way that makes sense.

Guardians want a better life with their dogs. Values Based Dog Training, first defines what better is by determining what part of life will be improved when we are finished?

 

What value needs to be increased to make your life better, and your dogs life better? Then we design programs and training exercises using concepts from proven methods that help meet needs of guardians, by meeting needs for their dogs.

Traditional behavior science sometimes forgets about one of the most important things in life which is; what makes us happy, fulfilled, balanced and able to thrive?

 

Value based training is a layer between training approaches, and the needs of dogs and their guardians. The purpose is to keep our goals clear and focus on what we need to be our best self.

We can think about values as...

Components of a fulfilling life.

Thinking in values...

...promotes humane techniques.

Values are what we expect from dogs and what we offer to dogs.

Thinking in values, is a way to categorize our dog's needs.

 

Teaching in values is using techniques that satisfy the need.

Phone-Guided

Think about it.
This makes sense.

Dog Training

Phone-guided training works because...

  • You are your dogs favorite person.

I want your dog to listen to you, not me.

  • Dogs behave best with the person who trained them.

That should be you, not a non-family trainer.

  •  No pressure.

Train at your pace. I design the steps to match your style. 

  • No need to be perfect.

You decide when it's good enough.

  • This is not competition obedience.

This is building a bond, learning to train and ensuring safety.

 

  • Your experience counts.

We build on your knowledge and beliefs so training has meaning to you.

  • Own your dogs learning experience.

You did it! You trained your own dog and can be proud of the results.
