LET ME ASK YOU ONE QUESTION!
​
If you were required to learn a new skill or subject, would you prefer the experience to be engaging, enjoyable, and fulfilling, or stressful, intimidating, and challenging?

Many dog trainers use punishment, but this can harm your relationship with your dog. Consider how it affects trust, motivation, and your dog's confidence versus fear. Building a strong bond is key to training a well-behaved companion—this is why following IPDTA's golden rule is essential.


IF YOU DON'T WANT SOMEONE DOING IT TO YOU
DON'T DO IT TO ANYONE ELSE - ANIMAL OR HUMAN!
​

Choosing a qualified dog trainer who uses positive, science-based methods is essential for your dog's well-being. Many trainers still recommend harmful techniques and equipment, but these can damage your dog's trust, behaviour, and quality of life. A caring guardian avoids causing fear or pain to their dog.

​
HERE'S THE GREAT NEWS!!!
SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN & POSITIVE DOG TRAINING WORKS!
DON'T PUNISH - TEACH!​

WELCOME TO LIVING BETTER DOG TRAINING!!!

Lisa Hoffman provides instruction on dog training, behavior, and aggression modification using methods and techniques based on scientific principles. The approach aims to address unwanted behaviours while maintaining the dog's temperament, supporting emotional wellbeing, and fostering the human-canine bond.


Why Positive Matters!!!

At Living Better Dog Training, never again will you need to use force or negativity with your dog. You will learn to understand your dog, how it thinks, feels, learns and communicates. Dog Training is a journey, one we're honored to take with you and if you work with us, never again will you feel alone, frustrated or at a loss with a misbehaving dog. We will always be here for you if you have problems or questions.
Studies show that scaring or hurting a dog hinders its ability to learn, damages its trust in humans, and increases unwanted behaviours like destruction, fear, and aggression. While quick fixes may work briefly, punishment often leads to stronger problem behaviours later. Positive dog training is not permissive; it uses resource control and games to encourage good behaviour without punishment. This approach teaches dogs to make the right choices for rewards and builds a strong, positive bond. At Living Better Dog Training, you'll learn to understand your dog's needs and communication methods, ensuring you never have to use force. We're committed to supporting you throughout your training journey.
