Training Types

There are many different ways to accomplish your dog's training. If you call a professional trainer, some will work with you, train you and some trainers prefer to train your dog for you (Board-N-Train). Training happens in both group setting and private settings.

SouthPaw Training Method:



In any circumstance, if you chose the BnT method or hands on, your dog can be trained. The biggest advantage of our training is that you will be spending time with your dog to achieve any type of compliance that you need at your home or with you.  You learn how to communicate with your dog.

Any method you use will require you to put the time in, to learn the connection and achieve a bond with your dog. SouthPaw Training method gives you all of the connections to achieve the required bonding with your dog.

SouthPaw Training works on teaching our students everything we know about dogs and more. We want you to leave with the understanding of how to make and apply rules your dog can follow. We like seeing our students put just a few minutes each day per session, working on communication and building a relationship with them during the training process. If we fail at giving you the knowledge you need, you will go home frustrated. 

With our knowledge and teaching skill, we are able to give the owner the tools to achieve and work through the difficulties with their dog. Our training is designed to provide the required behavior modification and obedience along with our training book, giving you a complete package to help you and your dog achieve success. Unlike Board-N-Train, you will take your dog home with you and work with him daily. You will be given a step-by-step method to achieve the success you need with your dog from the beginning. 

SouthPaw Training methods work on teaching the dog on a level he can understand - "Work to Earn." Dogs instinctively understand that if they want something, they must work for it. It is simple to direct a dog to learn human lifestyle, by offering the dog a reward for learning. The reward shows the dog that he can succeed and learn the rules of the human world. Our methods help the owner acquire a communication with the dog and help him achieve the bond they need. 



In any type of training, the owner of the dog needs to know and understand how to accomplish what the rules are for the dog in his home. If the owner does not know even how to set rules and enforce them, the dog will naturally go back to being a dog. If the rules are not defined and consistent, the dog will get frustrated and go back to his natural state of being - a dog.
