DOG TRAINING
We love dogs as much as you do! Whether your goal is foundation work in a puppy or basic manners class – or you aspire to gain skill through Agility training, games, or off leash fun, we’ll help you enjoy the training process while working toward your goals.
We welcome dogs of all breeds and stages of life. Our training is simple, effective and fun, and easy to integrate into a busy lifestyle. Through humane education and utilizing relationship based training we help to minimize the risk of re-homing animals - guiding handlers through challenging ages, difficult behaviors, and changes in lifestyle. We encourage caregivers to enjoy the training game throughout the course of their animal’s lifetime. We provide solutions and inspire confidence. Come play our training game!
Click for Confidence has the distinction of being a Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner.
HORSE TRAINING
At Click for Confidence we often refer to balance. Balance of the hoof, the horse, the rider, the mind. Training is approached in a holistic manner, combining traditional gymnastic exercises with body awareness, and the playful, rewarding work of clicker training.
Riding should be fun! Every interaction with our animals should be a pleasure for both partners. Caroline works to create balance between challenges and success. Lessons are taught to instill confidence in a positive atmosphere. Combined with the physical skills necessary for a secure and supple position, time is spent developing tact, feel and timing – both on the ground and under saddle When whole balance is achieved, riding becomes nearly meditative in practice.
Whether one chooses to be a trainer or not…every interaction we have with our animals has an impact on their future behavior. Empathy, behavioral understanding, observation skills, and training theory are important foundation skills for a lifetime of enjoyment with our horses. Let's have fun with the challenges!
"The most powerful agent of growth and transformation is something much more basic than any technique: a change of heart."- John Welwood
