Our Philosophy

Our philosophy at 406-K9 is built around the main idea that dog training is not “one size fits all”. We believe every dog is an individual, and every training program should be too. We take the time to understand the dog in front of us and adjust our methods accordingly. Our approach is grounded in the principles of Operant Conditioning.

We focus primarily on rewarding desirable behavior through positive reinforcement, while correcting unwanted behavior. This method allows dogs to learn effectively and, in turn, makes training an enjoyable and enriching experience. Training should be a commitment to keeping our dogs healthy and happy for their entire lifetime

Additionally, we are always learning and expanding our understanding of canine behavior and learning theory. We strive to incorporate the latest knowledge into every program we design.
