Gentle Touch Pet Training offers a wide range of dog training classes and dog sports, from introductory puppy classes to advanced clicker training. Their training philosophy is based on the gentle and effective method of Clicker Training, which uses a marker signal and positive reinforcement to shape behaviors, similar to how marine mammals are trained. The business provides programs in agility, from beginner levels to competition, and offers Nose Work classes, a popular scent detection sport with five certified instructors. The trainers are known for their knowledge, kindness, and love for dogs, and they are willing to work with difficult dogs to meet owners’ needs. The owner, a well-respected expert in clicker training, has gained recognition across the country, even being referenced in a service dog training school’s library. The staff at Gentle Touch is friendly and knowledgeable, making it a trusted place for both training and boarding. Overall, the trainers are highly regarded for their expertise and dedication to creating a lifelong connection between dogs and their owners.
