WHO ARE WE?
Alix & the Pack is more than a dog walking and training company. We create a common language between dogs and humans to guide our interactions and relationships with them. We want both to live happier, healthier and stronger lives together.
In our training, we focus just as much on you as we do on your dog. An owner's confidence and knowledge is one of the most important determinants of a dog's behaviour. That's why we are here to inspire, empower and educate you. Most of all, we want to build training that will last a lifetime.
OUR TRAINING METHODS
Behavioural psychology tells us that operant and classical conditioning are the backbone of all training and learning - for humans and for dogs. Operant conditioning is thus a window of communication between species.
Dogs (and humans) want to maximise good experiences and minimise bad ones. They respond to cues from their environment, which will either reinforce or discourage a certain behaviour. Our methods reflect this science. Put simply, there is a fair reward for wanted behaviour and a fair correction for unwanted behaviour.
Dog training is a craft, and as such we adjust our methods to suit the unique needs of each dog. That being said, we always employ balanced training methods.
We use what we know about how dogs think and feel to understand why they're acting out, instead of just fixing their 'bad' behaviour.
SCIENCE BASED, BALANCED TRAINING
We use all four quadrants of operant conditioning. There is a fair reward for wanted behaviour and a fair correction for unwanted behaviour.
TRAINING TOOLS
We use an array of training tools, including food, clickers, toys, affection, play, slip leads, energy, and movement. While the principles of learning are universal, their specific application in a given situation isn’t. No one tool or approach will be the most effective in all cases. We ask our clients to be adaptable to circumstance.
NEUTRAL APPROACH
Rewards and corrections are neutral & non-emotional, and balanced in energy and tone. Simply, information to your dog about behaviour and environment.
