TRAIN YOUR DOG WITH 1-ON-1 HELP.
1. Easy Schedule.
Appointments are not pre-set like typical group instruction meeting 2+ times per week because it's imperative to have enough time for homework; to effectively progress with your k9; before returning.
Since most mutts aren't used to being led by their owners consistently; they saturate early during instruction; that's why sessions will continue at ½ hr with a goal for longer durations asap.
The article, How to Train Your Dog Effectively, states, "If you run your sessions too long, dogs get distracted and bored, and there's a good chance they'll start making mistakes."
Avoid initial consults over ½ hr with in-home canine trainers since pets cannot learn past saturation; especially when you're attempting to teach something new.
Instead, book a ½ hr $25 consult with our 100% money-back guarantee when convenient for your family's agenda.

Specialized lessons are effective for pups 6 months & older whether seeking basic or advanced commands as group classes have too many distractions in the environment for effective learning.
Sessions are sold by-the-hour with the more time purchased; more affordable; and no expiry dates.
If advanced commands with distractions are desired, your certified guide will introduce 1 strategic k9 at a time; until multiple pets are present, while maintaining a safe environment, and controlled outcome.
As shared in an article by Homeo Animal, "...you will have to perform the tasks at home. Every trainer will give you some homework."
Avoid prepaying costly upfront charges for 'guaranteed results' over-the-phone, before they've met your mutt, and no refunds!
Instead, book a ½ hr $25 consult, and if not immediately satisfied, enjoy our 100% money-back guarantee.

3. Reputable Experience.
780 considers your pet's age, sex, breed(s), drives, history, personality, core characteristics, and most importantly; trust in your relationship; not just credit positive reinforcement makes you 'positive'.
HINDERING not HELPING.
From 2020 to 2022, the Canadian dog population has continued to grow as figures for 2022 increased to 7.9 million from 7.7 million.The Pet Industry's media has elevated mutts to child-like status (humanization) to justify the cost of higher-priced products such as human grade ingredients in pet food (premiumization).
Public opinion & legal rulings continue to shift in favour of regulating or eliminating any activity harbouring potential for animal mistreatment.
Unfortunately for critters, potential is too vague a term for most tutors to grasp; as they selfishly humanize hounds for their emotional needs and business' profits when they promote that saying no = negative.
Now what do you get when you mix the humanization of pets with a generation of humans heavily influenced by new age child raising techniques from the 1950's that promote "never saying no to your children?".
Society has now effectively raised "fur-babies" without any rules or boundaries; claiming to always say "yes" (impossible); so unruly temperaments manifest into dangerous conduct.
LIFE not DEATH.
But when self-proclaimed positive dog behaviorists in Alberta's Capital Region can't manage the challenging pet; they blame it for natural behavior and suggest euthanasia.We are discussing the difference between life & death; not positive & negative. Unless your pet is a battery?
Calling oneself a positive dog behaviorist / psychologist instead of a traditional title doesn't change the fact a K-9 is a canine is a k9.
Sharing boundaries with your companion encourages mutual respect; anything else is cruel.
REWARDING not BRIBING.
780 promotes 2 concepts for foundational obedience; yes & no. Later we can introduce patience by a third notion; not now; that's trust.The goal of 780's custom tutoring is to cultivate your companion's eagerness and repeatedly comply to verbal commands or hand signals, without need for constant treats; that's respect.
How do you teach an adult stray that does not respond to treats, toys, or praise? What if they would rather continue in their behaviour rather than follow your snack bribe?
BOUNDARIES not BLINDNESS.
Only teaching "yes" or solely administering "no" are both detrimental to one's understanding of boundaries in any relationship.Whatever motivates your particular pup is used to shape new basic behaviors; while boundaries are established & maintained to proof consistency of said behaviors; through intermediate & advanced scenarios.
780 encourages everyone to be honest with themselves who claim to never have or will not practice saying no to their 1-of-a-kind animal.
If you currently use any kind of leash, collar, or harness; while on a walk; then you are saying no to 100% freedom in mobility. This applies to crating as well.
Logically, you could even conclude that not releasing treats fast enough or in large quantities; according to an animal's stomach; is a form of stating no; Sooooo negative!
Instead of gimmicky marketing jargon; 780 teaches how to communicate by your critter's inherent language; simplifying how to lead your Lycan.
POSITIVE PROPAGANDA.
According to Ed Frawley (50+ years experience; Leerburg.com), there are 3 types of all-positive behaviorists:
"Those who emulate Pet-Smart, which runs 100% all-positive courses and won't mention corrections in class'know better but choose to cash-in on the image of all-positive marketing."
"All-positive who love animals and push the concept but simply lack experience to know better."
"All-positive who compete and win in various k9 sports. These competitors do an excellent job of desensitizing the contesting animal to ignore distractions they will face in their respective sport."
Read the full article The Problem with All Positive Dog Training.
CRIMINAL ACTS BY THE POSITIVE COMMUNITY.
Michael D'Abruzzo (CEO of K9-1.world LLC est 1998) confirms the above title in his article:
"The Positive community, aka, the "friendly" community, has been guilty of criminal level fraud, negligence, and slander... causing harm to honest professionals; pet owners; the public; and the dogs themselves."
"There needs to be true regulation in this industry as to who can call themselves a professional. There needs to be government regulated educational programs that teach the real science...
"The correct application of all tools needs to be taught..."
"The correct application of all tools needs to be taught..."
"This leads to fraud for the consumer who pay money to a positive instructor and then discover that this is not the case. Verbal reprimands, gentle leaders, no pull harnesses, tugs on leashes are all forms of positive punishment.
False advertising leads to an unfair advantage toward competition among professionals that do not make false claims."
False advertising leads to an unfair advantage toward competition among professionals that do not make false claims."

6. One-on-One References.
Before hiring a dog trainer, Cesar Milan advises, "Get Referrals."
780's one-on-one references contain high-drive working bloodlines (produced by breeders) seeking safe outlets for their energetic needs; like Search & Rescue skills with Belgian Malinois, "Beau" from the Delta Community Animal Shelter.
After bouncing from one Edmonton positive-only instructor to the next, and after pre-paying hundreds of dollars with no results (especially for temperament issues) owner's read our references & travel a little further than city limits for help at 780.
Our forte doesn't mean that we solely work with the challenging mongrels; we appreciate the friendly Fidos with even temperaments, too; such as group dog classes with Alberta 4H Beef Club.
780's WORD OF MOUTH. |
BEWARE BEING MISLEAD. |
| • Registered charities | • No references |
| • 75+ reviews | • Low-to-no reviews |
| • Unique testimonials | • Generalized claims |
| • Basic to advanced goals | • Simple results |
| • Dangerous behaviours | • Even temperaments only |
| • All breeds | • Companion only |
7. Board and Train.
Drop off camp is also a resource for preventing & redirecting unwanted or dangerous dog behaviours such as; jumping, resource guarding, human & dog reactivity.
780's send away camp is a powerful program to help Alberta families establish or reintroduce manners; with rates as low as $60/day for members.
Cost-effective board 'n' trains are achieved through periodic weekend bootcamps coupled with in-person sessions; first starting with a consult.
An article by Bark Post advises, "As with any facility you entrust with your dog's care, be sure to take a tour and consult several references before choosing a program..."
Avoid 1-stop-cure-alls from unprofessional facilities promoting mysterious approaches not explained & no aftercare.
Instead, book a ½ hr $25 consult for an accurate timeline, estimate, & game plan.

8. Personal Results.
The AKC also uses evaluations, "A temperament test measures a dog's reaction to various elements presented to them such as a stranger, usually of varying degrees ranging from neutral and friendly, to threatening..."
Puppies are Unique.
For the puppy that's particular to toys we won't suggest the owner blindly offers treats during our puppy classes.
High-drive Customization.
If during the consult your critter displays very high-drive but doesn't have the required confidence specific to security skills, we will not encourage further pursuits - just to sell you a service.
Instead, we may individualize tracking lessons to funnel their high energy.
We also do not assume all k9's desire strangers to pet them; so, we don't act surprised if a guardian breed can't automatically be hugged face-to-face.
We won't invent a "scientific" term to confuse the owners instead of simply sharing it's in their genetics to be wary of new people.
For k9's with no interest in socializing with others we're not going to encourage unrealistic expectations to "rehabilitate" them to be social butterflies attending off leash parks.
But we will help the owner develop a management program that at the very least encourages their companion to tolerate others from a distance, while focusing on their owners, so they can enjoy walks in their neighbourhood; worry-free.
$25 Consultations.
During your ½ hr tailored consult we will meet as you share examples of your k9's undesirable habits.
Unwanted Patterns.
Through a series of questions, we will reveal complex underlying issues in simplified terms so that you'll have an exclusive understanding of the break down in communication.
Then suggest essentials for addressing the root problem which will redirect their behaviour to your liking or learn to manage it.
Step-by-step Specialization.
A correlating program, distinct to your unique scenario, will be explained to you with hands-on instruction.
Specific Tutoring.
We will help guide your pet through 1-on-1 tutoring, avoiding trial-and-error, addressing all challenges as they arise.
At Home Goals.
In-home obedience exercises will be suggested with step-by-step goals to achieve within a timeline, based upon your schedule, before returning for the next hands-on tutoring.
Distinguished Communication.
Immediate results will be apparent as communication with your critter improves; 780 will teach how to see your mutt's micro improvements as you continue learning.
