“Training… Where you and your dog’s journey begins.”
Here at On a Journey we work with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. By building positive relationships and using balanced training methods we help you and your dog prepare for a lifetime of adventure. We strive to help owners give their dogs an active and enriching life by bringing training into their everyday activities. All of our programs are tailored to the individual needs of each dog.
Someone once told me that dog training is starting to become a lost art form and unfortunately I’d have to agree. But here at On a Journey, we believe that building a solid positive relationship with your dog is the heart of dog training and we’re here to show you how!
With 8 years of combined pet care and training experience I have worked with most breeds of various ages and sizes and it is my passion to help dogs and their people build a life full of enrichment and fun! I believe that it is important to take a step back and observe the dog as a whole.
•Genetics: What were they bred to do? What typical breed behavior do the show? Do they herd, keep their nose to the ground, or chase prey?
•Up Bringing: How was the dog brought up? Could they do whatever they want? Were boundaries ever put in to place?
•Temperament: Are they naturally anxious or aloof? Are they quick learners? Are they confident?
When we take these things in to consideration this helps give us ideas on what the dog really needs and allows us to provide the dog a customized training plan that fits uniquely to them. Training isn’t linear so are you ready for the journey?
