Loyal Companions Dog, Puppy and Cat Training uses positive reinforcement training techniques. These techniques are based on the psychology of how animals, including dogs and cats, think and learn. We use a combination of lure/reward training, reward training, and/or clicker training.

Our goal is to train your pet to be obedient and trustworthy, while strengthening your loving bond with them.

With our force-free training methods your pet will be motivated to learn and will enjoy the training sessions. Since we reward your pet's good behavior, that behavior increases and any inappropriate behavior decreases. Our methods are also easy and enjoyable for you to learn. Even small children can learn to train the family pet.
