Dogs R Plus - Certified Professional Dog Trainer - Chetek, WI

At Dogs R Plus, we know that dogs behave best when their physical, social, and emotional needs are met. We know happy dogs learn faster, so we use reward-based training. We avoid aversive (unpleasant) training practices, including verbal corrections.

Our dog trainer holds the Certified Professional Dog Trainer - Knowledge Assessed (CPDT-KA) from the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers®, so you can trust our current, evidence-informed training practices. She was formerly a Nationally Certified Master Groomer (NCMG) from the National Dog Groomers Association of America®, and puts this experience to work in teaching Cooperative Care dog training.

She is an AKC® Evaluator for Canine Good Citizen, Community Canine, Urban Canine Good Citizen, and Virtual Home Manners. She is an AKC® FIT Dog instructor also. We offer AKC FIT Dog training, [free!] fitness walks, and documentation for your dog's progress in AKC Fit Dog titles.

What tip would you give pet parents for working with animals that you've learned as a pro?

Dogs can be similar to toddlers - a lot of their "behavior problems" are caused by big feelings and unmet needs. Fortunately, there's a lot we can do to help our dogs feel better so they can behave better!
