Skiptown dog training helps you understand your dog’s behavior so that you can bring out the behavior you want, in a way that’s rewarding to BOTH of you.
Our experienced team of trainers uses the industry-leading positive reinforcement protocol known as LIMA.
LIMA (Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive) emphasizes using humane and effective strategies for training and behavior change while avoiding unnecessary punishment. All Skiptown trainers follow LIMA and prioritize positive reinforcement, continuous learning, and a systematic problem-solving approach.
In group training settings and 1:1 training, our team promotes a respectful and individualized approach that aims to prevent the potential negative effects of punishment.
It’s about giving your dog the confidence they need to be the good girl or boy you already know they can be.
From basics to far beyond, we’ve got options for just about every pup and parent out there.
