Why I Love Being a Dog Trainer In Austin TX
Even the most terribly behaved dog can be trained to live a fun, off leash lifestyle and I want to show you how!
Hi, I'm Laura Williams! Throughout my dog training journey, I've learned that structure, obedience, and the dog's state of mind are critical elements for a well-behaved dog. I have also learned how to establish myself as a calm, consistent leader to build trust and create a stronger relationship with my dogs. Key elements of my approach include solid obedience training, accountability, and appropriately addressing unwanted behaviors. My belief in the power of these principles led me to establish Refined K9 Training, with the goal of helping dog owners feel less overwhelmed and build a better relationship with their dogs.
The training system I follow uses the Four Quadrants of Operant Conditioning. Mainly, this is a system that increases your dog's motivation, allows for clear communication with your dog, and can eliminate confusion and frustration. I use reward based training that begins with a lot of positive motivation, but it is partially phased out as dogs learn to respond to commands properly. All dogs learn to listen to commands under high levels of distraction so that they can behave not only in public, but also in active households. Also, and most importantly, I focus on hands on training for owners so that your dog listens to your commands (because I'm not moving in with you :) )
