Our Approach
It Klever K9 utilises a modern training approach with a strong emphasis on positive reinforcement. This approach combines rewards, praise and encouragement to reinforce desired behaviours. It creates a joyful learning experience for dogs instilling them with the confidence to embed their new skills into their everyday lifestyle.
By emphasising positive reinforcement, we cultivate a strong bond of trust and respect between owners and their pets, resulting in happier, well-adjusted dogs and satisfied, confident owners.
This approach equips owners with the skills and confidence to maintain their dog’s new behaviours and obedience long after our sessions end.
Through our in-home sessions, we offer a comfortable and personalised approach that reduces stress, enhances owner-pet bond, and effectively addresses behavioural issues in a familiar environment. We tailor each session to your dogs needs making it a convenient choice for owners seeking behavioural improvement.
