What is a Cool Dog? A family member that is fully integrated and spends lots of time with the rest of the family – because it's a pleasure, not a hassle. So, when you take that weekend away, you bring your dog. When company comes to the house you won't be putting your dog outside because there are hors d'oerves on the table.

Through a progression of classes with Cool Dog Training, Inc. at our state-of-the-art 2600 square foot Center, we will teach your dog manners and all kinds of social skills. We also teach families all about dogs - about their natural instincts, how they learn, think, and communicate. Positive reinforcement is taught using modern methods; all training is fun - for the dog and the entire family.

Positive Reinforcement
In the dog-training profession, positive reinforcement has become the only acceptable method for training family dogs these days. Long gone are the days of intimidating our pets and acting like alpha dogs ourselves. We have evolved – and thank goodness! Positive reinforcement involves the presentation of a good consequence when the dog has performed (for example, you say, "come," the dog comes, and you offer a treat or some good playtime). It increases the likelihood that the behavior will occur in the future. Another way of saying this is, "dogs do what works for them." If we make it worth their while a few times in the beginning and continue to practice they generally pick up the behavior as a habit and do it with some consistency. Everyone has fun – your dog and you.
