Training that works—positively!
 Foranimals, LLC is dedicated to providing professional individualized quality care and education for you and your companion animals. All training and handling techniques are based on positive approaches to learning that foster trust, respect, and deeper relationships. Learning experiences that are enjoyable have faster and more lasting results for you and your companion.
No fear, no force — positive results.
GROUP CLASSES—Positive Reinforcement Training
 All Foranimals classes are designed to be active and fun for you and your dog. Positive training skills are emphasized and reinforced. When your dog is rewarded for his successful efforts rather than punished for his mistakes, learning is a quick and enjoyable process for both of you. This is the focus of positive reinforcement training. In every class you will learn how to communicate clearly with your dog and when and how to reward good behavior. You will also learn how to effectively change unwanted behavior without the use of forceful or harsh punishment.
Since dogs (and people) are different in their learning styles and needs, you move at your own pace. You will graduate from any level of class knowing you have worked hard with your dog, made progress, and understand your dog and the training process that works best for you.
Classes are structured for real life learning with your companion dog, rather than competitive obedience trials; families are welcome to participate. Classes are 60 minutes in length, with a 15 minute break between the end and start of any class. That way you are guaranteed a full hour of class--never shortened because the next group is waiting to begin--and you have plenty of time for individual questions and socializing. Classes are kept small so you receive quality attention for each exercise.
PRIVATE TRAINING PROGRAMS
 Private Training Programs are tailored to meet your specific needs and goals with your companion animals. At your scheduled convenience, you will learn how best to address behavior problems, strengthen obedience skills, or work with your aging pet's changes and comfort. Each program begins with an initial consultation to get to know you and your dog or cat and assess the training needs. All techniques used in training are positive based approaches to learning that foster a strong partnership between you and your companion animals in order to support lasting change. Each program is individually designed to support you and your companions in attaining the results you want and requires owner participation for successful results. Private training programs are available year round.
