RELATIONSHIP BASED DOG TRAINING
Barking Bubz's mission is to strengthen the bond between you and your dog through science-based, relationship-focused dog training. No matter your dog's age or behaviors, it's never too early or too late to start training. Join us in enhancing communication and understanding with your furry friend!
​
Relationship Based Dog Training: a method of training that uses the cooperative relationship between the trainer and the animal to achieve mutually beneficial results, while at the same time enhancing and strengthening their relationship. This means that as Barking Bubz dog trainers, our ultimate goal is to develop a strong emotional and physical bond between owner and dog. While the trainers focus on positive reinforcement methods (treats, praise, and love), they do use some consequences to form boundaries (clapping hands, “no”, collar correction) which dogs use in their natural communication with one another. Consequences will not be used without parent permission and will only be used if absolutely necessary.
Investing time in your dog's training during their early life sets your dog up for a lifetime of good behavior. By starting early, you'll find that teaching your pup is much easier, helping you avoid potential problem behaviors down the road.
Barking Bubz also specializes in resolving, reconditioning, or remodeling bad behavioral habits. Changing behavior takes time! Think about a bad habit you have let go. How hard would it be to break? Your pup will go through the same struggles (in fact their bad habit may be easier to fix than your own bad habit)! We will guide you through a step by step process working on the psychology behind the behavior to resolve the issue.
​
Our highly recommended Gold dog training package involves continuous training, which keeps your pup mentally and physically sharp and focused throughout their life. Our approach prioritizes quality over quantity, you and your dog become a part of our Barking Bubz family. Rather than quick fixes, we focus on lasting effects, enhancing your dog's impulse control and ensuring you can apply our training in everyday life.
With our training, you can expect safer behaviors in public, improved socialization, reduced stress (for you and your pup), good manners, an understanding of your pup's natural communication, and a deeper, more enjoyable bond with your furry friend.
Please keep in mind that dog training must become a part of your lifestyle once established in order for your newly fixed/created behaviors to stick! Always think C.P.R. (Consistency, Patience, and Repetition). If you have a difficult time keeping up with the training, consider one of our long term training packages (Gold Pack or Expert Dog Walk Pack).
​
A free dog training consultation is required to initiate all dog training options. During the dog training consultation, our trainer Vanessa, will design a training plan that is catered to you and your dogs needs. Our trainer will recommend one of our session options or package options to meet those established needs. You are always welcome to adjust or choose a different session option, add-on to the session option, or purchase a package.​
​
Always remember, it is never too early or late to train your dog! We provide training for every type of behavior and are happy to help.
