Introduction
2 Feet, 4 Paws has been developed to help assist people communicate effectively with their canine companions.

We only use humane methods of training and techniques which work on modifying behaviour long term, we do not suggest bribery or short term solutions. There are a few simple rules for working with dogs and put simply, handlers or trainers which try to employ speed and power to modify a behaviour will never be successful.  Dogs can be strong and powerful and will always win that particular battle. So the easiest solution and the method 2 Feet, 4 Paws uses is simply to CHEAT!
If there is only 1 outcome for any given exercise there is no room for failure and everyone wins!

For our training we use positive and negative reward methods. This is the fastest way to train and most effective way to communicate with a dog a desired behaviour and always creates a successful outcome.

Behaviour Dogs Attitude
Problem Fido jumps on guests when they walk through the front door, and is physically pulled off by the handler and shouted at. Fido thinks that everyone who walks through his front door is fair game to be jumped on. He enjoys the interaction with the guest and the handlers response showing him attention.
Resolution Physically prevent Fido from access to the door or visitors. By using devices such as baby gates, crates or a pen. This behaviour can be extinguished almost immediately and rewards given for appropriate behaviour. Fido learns that he will get a much more favourable interaction from the guest and handler, such as pats and treats if his behaviour is different.

For every problem the easiest solution is always to physically prevent the dog from performing it. This provides an opportunity for the dog to do something different and possibly receive a positive reward, such as attention from the handler, food or play time.

It may seem fundamental but we believe it is important that the handler can handle their own dog! A dog will never behave the same for a stranger/trainer as it will in its own home with its owner and more often than not, the dog already knows what it is supposed to be doing, but would rather be doing something different. For this reason we do not board dogs for 'training', it is not productive and usually a waste of money for the owner.
