Pack Method Prep
Hi. I’m here to socialize. Will you oblige 😁 Welcome @steelepups to our Social Club!!! 🐶 Did you know that Pack Method Prep has social club open on Tuesdays and Thursdays? It’s where your dogs spend their day in a play group of 6-12 dogs, supervised by experienced Pack Method Prep trainers. ✅ Play groups are customized based on temperament and training needs and small group sizes allow each dog to be individually catered to. ✅ Trainers emphasize impulse and emotional control as a foundation for the fun by teaching members to “Break” from play on command and keep stimulation levels to a minimum. 🤓 Each day your dogs will be challenged with entertaining Canine Enrichment activities! 💙 It’s a perfect addition to your pup’s social calendar. 🔑 Contact us today to sign your dog up!
A key ingredient to our "method" here at Pack Meth A key ingredient to our "method" here at Pack Method Prep is to build a customized training program for your dog while they are at school. We recognize that EVERY dog is different and has UNIQUE needs. Maggie has been with us for almost a year. We built a program for her so that she had "tasks" to do, as well as teach her how to control her impulses, and over time she has learned how to "read" other dogs and "communicate" properly with other dogs. Maggie was described as "reactive" by her dog mom When we took her in we realized she would get over stimulated, and didn't have the appropriate dog response which sometimes got her in trouble with other dogs .... or she was just acting inappropriately. She used to only know to hump other dogs in her excitement (which wasn't always appreciated) and she also didn't know how to deal with dogs that had as much excitement as her. Maggie is a very smart, treat-motivated dog and she has been fun to have in school. trouble and engaging in proper and appropriate play. They are active explorers and this photo shows Maggie at Fiesta Island. Maggie is a very smart, treat motivated dog and she has been fun to have in school. At Pack Method we use obedience training as well as social play, to help to teach your dog how to be a more balanced dog. The magic is in the details. The learning is through our method.
Imagine if your child only went to school for one Imagine if your child only went to school for one dedicated lesson a week and then you filled in their lessons for 5 to 15 minutes per day. Your child would take YEARS to graduate just even elementary school. Being a mother herself, our founder had the innovative idea to apply the same teaching principles to dogs. And so she started Pack Method Prep - to see the potential dogs could reach if they had a full day of learning. And the rest is history - as we like to say because her hypothesis proved to be right. And that GREAT dogs ... go to school #greatdogsgotoschool #dogschool #dogsofsandiego #dogtraining

In positive reinforcement training we use treats t In positive reinforcement training we use treats to: + Lure your dog into a position + Reward them for when they follow a cue But as time progresses ... it's less of a lure and less of a cue... we also reward them for making good choices. That's when the light bulbs are clicking and they are offering the behavior before we lure or cue them. It's the BEST. Feeling Ever to see your dogs advance in their learning. #GREATdogsgotoschool

Hello and Happy Monday. Today we'll talk about Ca Hello and Happy Monday. Today we'll talk about Calm Greetings and why they are important? It’s important to remember that in dog language EXCITEMENT is not the same as HAPPY. 🤪 Of course, your dog is happy to see you! But if they are overly “excited” then they are also experiencing stress or anxiety. If this over-excitement/anxiety is repeatedly rewarded with what your dog values most – your attention, then the dog will never gain control over their own emotional state, resulting in unwanted uncontrolled behaviors like jumping, barking, whining, nipping, mouthing, pulling on the leash or an overall exacerbation of anxiety issues into things like separation anxiety. A Calm Dog Is A Happy Dog 😍 What Does a Calm Greeting Look Like? +Your dog exhibits loose body language- loose wagging tail and possibly a loose wiggly body. +Your dog is able to control their impulses enough that they can obey basic commands like sit. +Your dog is able to disengage on their own and go about their business without having to be told! +Your dog may not approach at all! This doesn’t mean they don’t love you! It means they are confident in your relationship and their place in the world and don’t need to explode emotionally to express that to you. Our students learn how to be calm and confident! #GREATdogsgotoschool
“Training is a way of developing our ability to “Training is a way of developing our ability to communicate with our dogs”. Student @layinlowwitharlo Quote by Suzanne Clothier Owners often confuse dogs by changing words or not being consistent. Or repeating command over and over without explaining to the dog what they mean. At school we: + Focus on understanding your dog’s body language. + Be consistent in our rules and structure + Be clear in what we’re asking them not only with our verbal instructions but with our body language. Every dog should have basic manners but dogs are not born knowing how to behave. We take the time to positively show your dogs, and train them on a consistent method so that they trust us and have fun at the same time! #GREATdogsgotoschool
Today we honor our fearless leader @zoe.sandor Sh Today we honor our fearless leader @zoe.sandor She’s a full-time mother and somehow at the same time she leads us and imparts her expertise in training dogs. Just as she sees the benefits in school for her children... she also sees the benefits in school for your dogs. And so that’s how Pack Method was born. An evolution and natural progression from @zoesdogtraining to give dogs that needed more training a place to learn and flourish. We love your innovation and entrepreneurship in starting a one of a kind school. Here’s to all the women paving the way leading everyday raising their children, dogs and supporting the community. #womensupportingwomen #internationalwomensday #greatdogsgotoschool

The secret to training is.... "building a relationship with your dog" That’s what we start off with - building on a strong foundation. Your dog has to look to you and WANT to bond with you. At Pack Method we focus on building a bond with your dogs ... we want them to have fun and we want them to enjoy working with us! Lessons come more fluidly when we establish a strong bond first! #GREATdogsgotoschool
What does your dog love to do? Can you name those What does your dog love to do? Can you name those three things? Does your dog look to you as the bearer of his or her favorite things? Building a bond and a strong relationship with your dog means you understand what brings them joy and that you make those things happen and you do those things together!!! #greatdogsgotoschool
