Our Methodology
At Running Paws LLC, we believe in a compassionate, structured, and results-driven approach to dog training. Our programs are rooted in Balanced Training—a method that uses both positive reinforcement and appropriate, non-harmful consequences to shape reliable, real-world behavior that any dog owner can maintain.
Our Process
Positive Reinforcement:
We begin by teaching desired behaviors through luring and shaping—rewarding good choices with treats, toys, affection, and clear communication. This builds confidence, engagement, and trust
Clarity Through Consequences:
Once your dog understands the expectations, we gently introduce negative reinforcement to hold them accountable. This is done compassionately and safely, with the goal of building clarity—not fear.
Fair and Transparent Communication:
We always aim for your dog to make the right choice on their own. Our approach never uses intimidation, fear, or harm—only clear signals and consistent guidance to help dogs thrive in any environment.
