Our Mission, Services, and Commitment to You
Training Methods and Practices
Claiborne Canine practices positive reinforcement training techniques. We also believe the canine training process should include corrections and redirections for safety. It is important to keep in mind that each breed of dog carries its’ own motivations, and often training modalities. Together Sean and the client find the best learning style for each canine to have complete success.
​
In-home training offers great benefits as it is where the canine is expected and desired to exhibit optimal behaviors. Claiborne Canine encourages client participation and involvement at the level of their comfort and desire. Keeping one goal in mind, to provide the pinnacle training experience for both the client and canine.
