Features of Usar Dog Training
Usar Dog Training is a comprehensive and unique program developed by experienced canine professionals to help you and your pup become the best of friends. Usar training focuses on using science-based methods to ensure that all puppies learn quickly and accurately with positive reinforcement.
The instructors have extensive experience working with different breeds of dogs in a variety of contexts, so they understand the importance of tailoring their techniques to each individual pup and owner. The low instructor to pup ratio ensures that your pup is getting the highest level of attention and personalized care. The instructors also specialize in modifying pre-existing problem behaviors while teaching important obedience foundations.
Usar Dog Training goes beyond simply teaching basic commands. It also emphasizes creating strong relationships that put safety, trust, and respect first. All commands are taught through clicker training which uses positive reinforcement to condition correct behavior – no punishment or jumping jack drills here! Usar also works closely with veterinarians, nutritionists, and recovery specialists who can help address broader behavioral health issues such as aggression, separation anxiety, or compulsive disorders.
Safety and Comfort of Dogs
Usar Dog Training is committed to ensuring that each dog feels comfortable and secure while they are being trained. We limit the number of dogs per group so our trainers can focus their energy on making sure each individual dog receives special attention, is given ample breaks during longer activities, and has comfortable temperatures during all classes. Usar Dog Training also provides physical stimulation for all dogs in their care through structured training regimens and positive reinforcement techniques. However, we prioritize mental stimulation for our canine participants, seeking to continually challenge them in order to facilitate greater learning with positive results. Each of our trainers works diligently to understand each dog’s individual needs and tailors their methods accordingly to best support the comfort and safety of each pup.
Training Techniques
Usar Dog Training is committed to providing dogs and their owners with positive, rewarding experiences. To this end, Usar trainers use a variety of methods to ensure successful training outcomes.
Clicker training is an effective method for teaching dogs new behaviors that involve the use of a small object – often in the form of a “clicker” – to mark desired behavior. The sound of the clicker lets a dog know they have done something right, thus reinforcing their desired actions. Through consistent clicking and rewards, such as treats or verbal praise, desired behavior can be taught over time.
Reward-based learning also employs the use of treats and verbal praise in order to encourage desirable behaviors from dogs. By providing rewards each time a dog exhibits proper behavior, or even shows signs that they are trying to learn something new, trainers create positive associations for the pet when practicing certain activities or commands. This reward-based system helps reinforce obedience and adds fun and motivation to lessons.
Before & After Shots
Usar Dog Training offers world-class training to dogs of all sizes and breeds. Professional trainers work with each pup one-on-one, creating an individualized experiences that focuses on positive reinforcement and rewards. After the initial training session, grads are welcomed into an alumni program where they get monthly check-ins, updated progress reports and additional resources to ensure their continued development.
At Usar Dog Training, we’re proud to showcase our graduates before and after their one-on-one training sessions. Each dog is different, so it’s amazing to see the transformation that occurs when the right techniques are applied. Before pictures often display a pup who can hardly be walked without pulling on the leash or have difficulty interacting with people or other animals away from home. Afterwards, these same puppies become calm, confident and well-mannered members of their future family environments.
Each graduate’s before and after photos highlight some stunning changes in behavior – from basic commands such as heel and sit, to overcoming fear based aggression around larger breeds of dogs. In addition, the trust built between owners and their furry best friends is a true testament of the process – ensuring there’s a stable foundation for a lifetime of loyalty and companionship between them.
