OUR PHILOSOPHY
Einstein K9 offers in-home training, group classes, and board & train options for the San Antonio, Texas area. Einstein K9 uses innovative, science-based methods to help build the bond between you and your K9 companion. We believe training should be an enjoyable experience for both the K9, and the owner. Whether you're starting at the beginning, or looking to accomplish a new goal, Einstein K9 is here to help!
What training methods do you utilize?
Here at Einstein K9 we utilize positive reinforcement methodology to set you and your K9 up for success. Marine mammals, birds of prey, elephants, and big cats are all trained successfully using positive reinforcement, why not your dog? Einstein K9 uses training methods designed to eliminate stress and create a confident K9 ready to work for you!
What is a "Clicker" or "Marker Word"?
A clicker is a small plastic device which produces a "click" sound when activated by it's user. The sound produced from the clicker is consistent and identical. The clicker is used to communicate to your dog when they have completed a desired behavior correctly. A "marker word" is a word consistently used to communicate the same response as a clicker. Using operant conditioning we can teach the dog to understand that a "click" or "marker word" predicts the arrival of a positive stimulus (food, toy, attention, etc.).
What will my dog learn?
The better question to ask is, what would you like your dog to learn? At Einstein K9 we work with you to specialize your dog's training to fit your desired goals. We will teach various commands, alleviate undesirable or problem behaviors (jumping, barking, nipping, house soiling, bolting, marking, chewing, etc.), or modify your dog's behavior to benefit your lifestyle.
