Dog Training for Smart Dog Owners and Smart Dogs in San Diego

The Fairy Dogmother celebrates a humane and modern approach to dog training using fear and force-free, positive reinforcement, and reward-based methods. These techniques don’t rely solely on treats, but on what is rewarding to each dog and what is realistic for each owner.

My mission is to teach you how to understand your dog and to prevent unwanted behaviors by knowing how it is that your dog learns. I use positive methods of training, because dogs, like us, learn best this way. Each dog is unique, so it’s for us to give them what they need to be happy and satisfied through training, enrichment, and communication.

Training For All Types of Dog Behavior.

You’ll learn how to prevent or eliminate unwanted behaviors such as:

  • Jumping

  • Not Listening

  • Pulling on Leash

  • Door Dashing

  • Excessive Barking

You’ll learn the skills you need to reinforce the behaviors you want such as:

  • Polite Greetings

  • Cooperative Attention

  • Polite Leash Manners

  • Waiting at Doors

  • Coming when called

Training Philosophy

POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT WORKS

Building a bond between you and your dog is my top priority. I want to help you understand what your dog is telling you and communicate with them most effectively. All my training methods are personalized for each individual dog and for you, the owner. I believe in creating the best communication partnership between you and your dog using positive reinforcement training methods, understanding your dog’s temperament as well as energy awareness training.

I’ll observe, assess, and inquire how your dog feels in their environment. Once I have an understanding of how your pet sees their world, I’ll help you build your bond with your them. Then we’ll build their confidence together through positive reinforcement using high value rewards such as food, toys, and affection. Together, let’s create unity between you and your dog, creating a happy and healthy relationship.
