Comprehensive Dog Training Techniques

Our training techniques encompass a wide array of methods designed to address various behaviors and needs. At the forefront of our philosophy is the belief that every dog is unique, requiring tailored strategies for successful training. We focus on basic obedience training, which includes essential commands such as sit, stay, and come. Our trainers employ positive reinforcement techniques that reward desirable behaviors, making learning enjoyable for your dog. We also prioritize leash training, ensuring that your dog walks politely without pulling, which is crucial for safe and pleasant walks. By fostering a positive training environment, we help dogs learn effectively while building their confidence and trust in their handlers.

Behavioral Modification and PTSD Training

Many dogs experience behavioral challenges that stem from past traumas or inadequate socialization. At Smithenry Paws and Claws, we specialize in behavioral modification techniques that help dogs overcome anxiety, aggression, and other unwanted behaviors. Our certified behavior PTSD trainer utilizes a compassionate approach to help your dog regain confidence and stability. We focus on understanding the root causes of behaviors and implement gradual desensitization methods, ensuring your dog feels safe and supported throughout the process. Additionally, our training includes strategies tailored specifically for service dogs, equipping them with the skills needed to assist their handlers in various situations, providing both physical support and emotional comfort.

Service Dog Training and Therapy Work

Our service dog training program is designed for dogs that will assist individuals with disabilities, including PTSD. We ensure that each dog learns vital skills, such as task performance, mobility assistance, and public access training, preparing them to integrate seamlessly into their handler's daily life. Therapy dog training is also a significant focus at our academy, where we teach dogs to provide emotional support in various environments, including hospitals and schools. Our trainers work closely with both dogs and their handlers to cultivate strong communication and teamwork, enabling the dog to respond appropriately to different situations. The result is a well-trained companion who not only follows commands but also enhances the emotional well-being of those they are paired with.
