How does Foolproof
Behavior Training Work?

Image by Justin Veenema

FBT Part 1

Avoid making mistakes that undo hard work. Make training simple instead of stressing the dog out with commands, treats, or punishment.

​​

​

Foolproof Behavior Training Part 1 ["FBTP1"] is a 12 week intimidation-free relationship based training course focusing on the fundamentals of canine communications and developing the ability to understand and read the signals dogs communicate in the moment and teaches owners how to reduce reactivity, form a deeper and trusting connection.  You'll learn a lot about self and dogs.  â€‹This course teaches the fundamentals of leash handling, training a supportive well-balanced pet, resolving  jumping/ barking, and high stress behaviors.​​​​

 

Transitioning your dog to an optimist, which means the dog is happy to see people, happy to see other dogs, is relaxed, and emotionally well.  You will accomplish this by retraining your dog's body and mind to let go of energy and when they do this it feels good.  This approach creates the most successful results because the dog ultimately chooses  on their own to change so results last for the life of the dog.  Are you ready to:

​

  • Use ways to communicate that a dog understands? 

  • Train relaxation as a skill which get dogs to think and feel differently about the world around them believing good things happen for them not just to them? 

  • Build an instant connection of trust and respect, and make behavior problems disappear naturally instead of focusing on obedience commands, intimidation, or using force?

​

New research takes a deep dive into what makes partnerships with dog’s work and what characteristics lead to the most effective results in training which includes the benefits of  owners training.   Many of the benefits of a service dog begin through pet ownership. Pet ownership has been shown through research to support self-efficacy and strengthen a sense of empowerment, serve as ‘family’ or support, provide connections in social avenues and provide empathy.​

 

Therefore, whether it is difficult behavior at home, resource guarding, meeting new people, biting, leash pulling, hyper-activity, reactive or aggressive behavior towards other dogs or people, any dog can be a real source of stress at times. And In the worst cases, dogs are isolated, re-homed, some run away. 

 

Most people want their dog to be their companion, a relationship that has no drama, so that when people come over the dog isn’t loosing their mind, the dog being overall calmer, happier, and obedient without having to command the dog all the time, using a dog centric approach for your dogs matter.

 

And if this sound like you?  Then you're in the right place!!!

FBT Part 2

Teaching the practical applications of FBTP1, Foolproof Behavior Training P2 ["FBTP2"] is a progressive 16 week course that trains relaxation and socialization skills that connect with a dog on a deeper level. Learning  to walk calmly in distracting environments, pass other dogs nicely on or off leash, and helping dogs feel safe and secure in pet-friendly environments.  

​

We've already helped many struggling dog owners just like you, will you be next?  After working with us, both you and your dog(s) will have the skills to succeed becoming aware of how dogs communicate..​

 

Performing tricks is not how most dogs prefer to spend their time so a large part of our work in Part 2 involves re-training skills a dog will use in various situations throughout their lifetime.  For our dogs reaching goals is preprogrammed in them.  By allowing them to use their sniffing / hunting skills which dogs thoroughly enjoy simultaneously stress levels goes down while they are doing it, they feel good.  Because when working towards a goal and making progress, the brain releases a chemical called dopamine that makes us feel good.  Therefore we can help our dogs become aware of their emotional state, to modulate their own emotions in order to feel better about the world around them.

 

You'll learn to communicate in ways that lower your dogs heart rate and reinforce calmness and concentration to keep your dog out of flight or fight mode​​.

 

It's great training an excellent supportive dog which is a dog you don't have to tell what to do all the time and obeys when you ask the first time. Imagine a dog that doesn't lunge at other dogs when you pass or bark at people as they walk by, and instead comforts you in a peaceful manner and walks well on leash.

 

This course provides hands on learning like no other dog training experience, resolving complex problem behaviors achieving canine cooperation instead of limiting a dog to obedience.  Training will improve your mind, stress, emotions, and expectations working with a dog.

  • Training cooperation
