Ludington: Bond Based Approach to Dog Training

Ludington: Bond Based Approach to Dog Training

At Paws and Affection, their approach to teaching dogs is different from that of other programs and a change from past methods of Positive Reinforcement Training. With the Bond Based Approach, they use the idea that the bond between dog and person, along with body language and tone of voice, are what matter most and get the best results when working with a dog.

In this presentation the following will be covered:

  • Introduction to the psychology and science behind the Bond Based Approach

  • Explanation of why this approach is more effective and easier than other methods

  • Demonstration of the exercises we use to teach our dogs the foundational skills needed to become service dogs, but that are also effective in working with pet dogs. 

This event is geared to adults.
