ABOUT US
Rioghal Canine is dedicated to providing board and train and custom training solutions to pet and working dog clients alike. Rioghal Canine gets its name from the celtic word meaning “royal” and provides professional training solutions for you and your dog. Rioghal Canine uses experienced trainers that are always working to enhance their skills and develop the best techniques to help dogs and owners. Our in-home based board and trains allow your dog to stay under the supervision of their trainer for the duration of their program. Your dog will live with your trainer and your trainer will be able to progress them more efficiently than in a traditional facility setting. Owners receive weekly updates of their dog’s progress as well as a consultation where they will meet their trainer in advance of your dog’s program.
Training Philosophy
Rioghal Canine uses a balanced approach to training. Behaviors are built by rewarding dogs with whatever they deem the most valuable. For example, food, toys, praise or pets. As behaviors become fluid, leash communication is added and proofed so the dog begins to understand rewards and corrections. As the dog understands the behaviors, the leash, and the guidelines for each behavior, the remote collar is added. External rewards are slowly phased out for most dogs by the end of their training program so owners can have a reliable means to communicate with their dog through commands, body language, leash, remote collar, and praise. Having more ways to tell your dog what you want helps your dog perform consistently and they can enjoy more of what life has to offer.
The goal of pet training is to make the dog as content and happy as possible while being a well behaved member of your family. A well trained dog can have more experiences, go more places, and meet more people than a dog without training. Whether you want your dog to go with you on weekend adventures or simply not cause chaos at home, a trained dog is a huge benefit to the quality of life for both the dog and the owner.
