About Us
Building and strengthening relationships through clear and concise communication.
At Incredible Canines, we believe that choice-based learning is beneficial to the dog/human relationship because it builds and promotes trust in ways that other methods cannot. When you give your dog a choice, you are telling him that he has the freedom to choose not to participate in something that is scary or unpleasant. This may sound counterintuitive, but think about the many choices we make each day. What if your life was micromanaged to the point you had little or no control over even the smallest aspect? Our dogs depend on us to guide and coach them through a sometimes scary and confusing world. Our job is to provide structure in a way that helps our dogs make sense of the environment in order to feel safe and confident. It’s not about control. It’s about helping them learn by providing clear information, teaching and marking behaviors, motivating and reinforcing them in ways that promote active engagement. Force has no place in a healthy relationship.
