WHY IN-HOME TRAINING?

At True Loyalty, we bring private dog training right to your home. No driving to a class, no juggling your schedule—just training that fits your life. Working where your dog feels most comfortable helps us tackle real-life behaviors effectively, while giving you one-on-one guidance so you can confidently continue the training at home.

METHOD
& APPROACH

1. Teaching Learned Behaviors

Teaching learned behaviors works best through motivation. By using what your dog naturally enjoys—treats, praise, play, and affirmation—we make training fun, engaging, and highly effective. Most dogs thrive when learning this way.

2. Layering in Reinforcements

This is a crucial part many dog owners miss. We focus on creating multiple ways to motivate your dog so they want to perform the behaviors—not just when you have a treat. Without this skill, you’re always at the mercy of whatever your dog wants in the moment. The real goal is teaching your dog to respond reliably, even when they’re distracted or not naturally inclined to listen. This is the piece most people truly need.

3. Application

Once your dog understands a behavior and we’ve built strong reinforcement around it, we can begin applying it to real-life situations. Most people try to do this too early. Our approach is to first ensure your dog has a clear understanding of what’s being asked before testing them in challenging, real-world scenarios. This builds confidence, clarity, and long-term reliability.

Note:

These steps are solid fundamentals that work for most training and behavior issues. Still, every dog is unique and responds in their own way. That's where we help you get the most out of each session!
