the cali k9 training approach overview

This page sums up the available resources on how to learn the Cali K9 dog training system. This is also an outline for the upcoming app on how we want to sequence the information. This is a temporary site for internal purposes only.

dog training is about relationship management

1
relationship relationship relationship
Meet your dog's basic needs for survival, exercise, and stimulation. Nurture and maintain that relationship every day with consistency, firmness, fairness, and care. Most dog owners don't realize that they have a dysfunctional relationship with their pet, or don't have a relationship at all. Yet, they expect their dogs to behave a certain way. Our goal is to help handlers establish a relationship with their dogs.
2
15 minutes a day keeps bad behavior away
Show up for your dog every day. Engage and be present with your dog for at least a total of 15 minutes a day with stimulating training sessions, and you avoid most problems that come with dog ownership.
3
approach training like a workout
Set aside time everyday to practice basic behaviors and commands that turn your canine friend into a well-mannered dog. We'll show you how to get started with basic commands, with the end-goal being that you can improvise your own "workout" routines any where and any time.
4
improve gradually and consistently
As your dog training practice goes on, we take that workout and gradually increase distance, duration, and distractions so that your dog maintains an engaged relationship with you in all sorts of scenarios.
