Florida Canine approaches dog training differently than most. Instead of training our dog to be obedient in an effort to have a well behaved pet, we train our clients how to communicate with their dog in a way that will instinctively bring about the well behaved companion. If we pattern our relationship with our dog the way they do with each other, then we have impacted the learning curve dramatically.
Obedience is secondary to behavior. Our dog must first understand his place within our pack which will undoubtedly bring about instinctive politeness. We do this with only the most positive of methods. Once pack status is established, we can then teach him to SIT, STAY and FETCH the paper.
Through a consistent shaping of wanted behaviors and a positive reward system, Florida Canine achieves your desired results. Check out our Philosophy Page for more details.

Little Petey
Found abandoned at a construction site, this little guy was given to Hilary to rehabilitate because he had some major issues. He was dog aggressive, food aggressive and even people aggressive. He was afraid of everything and his only recourse was to bite. After spending a month with Hilary, his food aggression is gone. She can finally pet him and hold him and he is even learning to play with the other dogs in the house. Check back for an update on Petey's progress...
