Frequently Asked Questions

What training methods do you use?

Mindful K9 Solutions takes a LIMA based approach to dog training. LIMA stands for Least Invasive, Minimally Adversive. This means that we will always start with Positive Reinforcement based training. This method focuses on rewarding desirable behaviors to encourage their repetition. This method not only builds a string bond between the dog and owner, but also fosters a positive learning environment. MIndful K9 Solutions is committed to using humane and effective technes that respect the individual personality and abilities of each dog. Prong collars and e-collars are not used.

Why should I choose in-home training?

Being at home means less stress and fewer distractions, making it easier and quicker for dogs to pick up good habits. It allows the trainer to address any behavioral concerns in the environment they occur in. It is also more flexible with the owner's schedule.
