Training Style
Alisa specializes in basic obedience & confidence building as a balance trainer. This style of training uses both rewards & corrections to teach & shape your dog’s behavior. With balance training, your dog is rewarded for a good choice & corrected when they make a bad one. This allows them to learn from their mistakes naturally & quickly. Balance training takes patience & repetition but can reinforce good behaviors & remove the less desired. The Ruff Trainer will expect your go to learn basic commands such as sit, down, stay, place, leave it/drop it, recall & leash manners. Other areas that she focuses on is fear regulation such as darkness, noises, stairs, etc.
