Welcome to CANINE SOS Inc.
|
|
CANINE SOS offers Dog Training in group or private training format, Behaviour Modification, Aggression Consultations, Clicker Training and Dog Bite Prevention Education. I serve the Oshawa, Clarington and Durham Regions. My training technique teaches dogs that obedience and other desirable behaviours earn them things they like, such as treats, toys, petting and praise. This type of training creates a dog whose primary motivation is based on earning a reward as opposed to avoiding a punishment. I believe that training should be conducted in a dog friendly atmosphere where a dog is free from being subjected to fear, pain, yelling or distress. I aim to make your dog’s learning experience a positive one and a lot of fun too!
