Find it is one of my favorite “go to” training techniques. It is like my dog training duct tape! This is where I start with all of the dogs I work with. Every dog loves Find It in some way, even if they aren’t food motivated….
Together, we will determine why your dog is acting how they are and how we can either convert the behavior or as in many cases work on developing the dog’s confidence to reduce the anxious or fearful behavior. We doe this with the use of pattern games and positive reinforcement behavior modification. Over a period of time based on your dog’s and your needs we will introduce new techniques and options for the dog. Sessions are scheduled based on your dog’s and your needs.

About the trainer: Pam Culver
Pam uses a combination of positive reinforcement, pattern games from Control Unleashed and the techniques she has used with hundreds of rescue dogs over the last 10+ years of fostering and working with behavior issues. Pam has shared her home with challenging dogs from disabilities, anxiety, reactivity, aggression, feral, shy and hyperactivity. Pam draws on her personal experience in addition to the many training mentors she has learned from over the years. Pam grew up training horses and teaching people to ride horses in the last 10 years she has transitioned into working with rescue dogs and dog owners.
Pam is a Certified Control Unleashed Instructor. Pam completed a program with Leslie McDevitt and the Control Unleashed mentors to ensure she is teaching the most accurate and up-to-date information on the Control Unleashed methods. Certification of Control Unleashed® instructors provide dog owners access to Leslie McDevitt’s Control Unleashed techniques to help dogs and “dogs with issues” learn how to relax, focus, and work reliably in either stimulating or stressful situations. Certified Control Unleashed Instructors (CCUIs) instruct and implement meaningful behavior change through Control Unleashed methods. Rather than being bound to a world where people think of dog training as nothing more than cue-and-response, Control Unleashed allows conversational training, where both handler and dog can cue each other to perform behaviors and give feedback. It is the dog who takes the driver’s seat and directs his counterconditioning process. Letting the dog make choices and actively participate provides the dog with control over their learning, establishes trust, and fosters a spirit of communication. It also makes humans more humane. Certified Control Unleashed Instructors learn to become experts at being flexible and adjusting in the moment to meet the changing needs of individual learners: human, canine, and other animals, too!.
