origin of the tutoring program
The Tutoring Program is one of Traction Dog Training Club’s one-of-a-kind dog training programs, designed to simplify the learning process for both you and your dog. Originally created at the request of a client, this program has been a trusted part of our offerings for nearly five years and continues to deliver outstanding results.
Introducing a new concept to a dog is often the most challenging part of training. While it’s possible to help a dog grasp a new idea within a single session, doing so demands precise timing, an accurate understanding of the dog’s behavior, and continuous adjustments to the exercise.
In this program, your professional trainer spends an hour working exclusively with your dog to teach them a brand-new concept. After setting the foundation, your trainer spends an hour teaching you detailed homework instructions to practice the exercise and ensure generalization throughout the week.
While there’s always a learning curve when you start working with your dog, the Tutoring Program significantly reduces it. Because a professional has already introduced the concept to your dog, they’ll better understand what to expect when you step in. This clarity helps minimize frustration for both you and your dog, leading to faster progress and more enjoyable training sessions.
For your dog, this program offers the benefit of consistency and precision during their initial lessons. When your trainer handles the first introduction, your dog receives clear, mistake-free communication, making it easier for them to grasp the concept. Small errors during practice sessions have less impact, as your dog has already developed a solid understanding of the exercise.
