Brez prisile in z navdušenjem! V naši šoli ne boste slišali ukazov, ki temeljijo na strahu ali zategovanju povodca. Verjamemo, da je učenje uspešno le takrat, ko v njem uživata tako vodnik kot pes. Naš pristop temelji na sodobnih, znanstveno podprtih metodah pozitivne motivacije, ki gradijo trajno zaupanje in doživljenjsko vez. Kako delamo in zakaj s tem izstopamo? --> Priboljški z razlogom: Hrana pri nas ni podkupovanje, ampak močno komunikacijsko orodje. Uporabljamo jo za natančno označevanje želenega vedenja in spreminjanje pasjega čustvenega stanja. Vaš pes bo ugotovil, da se sodelovanje z vami preprosto splača. --> Igra kot ultimativna nagrada: Igra s strukturiranimi igračami (kot so cufe) je naše tajno orožje za dvigovanje fokusa in motivacije. Skozi igro psa naučimo hitrih preklopov med visoko energijo in popolno umirjenostjo, kar je ključno za vsakdanje življenje. --> Prebujanje pasjih nagonov (delo z nosom, mentalni izzivi): Psi svet doživljajo skozi vonj. V treninge vključujemo elemente zaposlitve pasjih možganov – od preprostih miselnih iger do osnov iskanja. S tem psa utrudimo na zdrav način, krepimo njegovo samozavest in rešujemo marsikatero vedenjsko težavo. --> Oblikovanje vedenja: Psov ne silimo v položaje. Učimo jih razmišljati. S tehniko oblikovanja vedenja pes sam ugotovi, kaj od njega želimo, takšno znanje pa je veliko bolj trdno in dolgotrajno. --> Učenje za realno življenje, ne le za poligon: Naš cilj ni robotsko poslušen pes na ograjenem terenu, ampak sproščen sopotnik v kavarni, na mestnih ulicah in na družinskem izletu. Treninge prilagajamo situacijam, s katerimi se srečujete vsak dan. Zakaj izbrati nas? Ker ne uporabljamo univerzalnih receptov. Vsak pes je individualen, s svojim karakterjem, tempom učenja in specifičnimi motivacijskimi gonili. Mi vašega psa preberemo in trening prilagodimo točno njemu – z veliko potrpežljivosti, strokovnega znanja in pozitivne energije.
