The Poi Dog's Approach

​

At Poi Dog's we strive to embody the spirit of Aloha in our training. This means we treat our clients and their dogs with love, respect, and compassion. Clicker training is a method of training that encourages desirable behavior using positive reinforcement paired with a distinct and audible event marker or "click." The event marker or "click" allows us to effectively communicate what behaviors we want our dogs to learn. When we pair the clicker with small achievable steps, we set our dogs up for success from start to finish. With this method of "errorless" learning your dog learns that training is fun and listening to you is rewarding. We choose to clicker train because emphasizes mutual respect between all participants and practices teaching through compassion. We also choose Clicker Training because it is science-based and effective. At Poi Dog's dogs don't have to listen to you, they want to listen to you. Click your way to the dog of your dreams and schedule a consult today.
