Our Mission

At Median Canine, our mission is to better the relationships between dogs and their owners through balanced training methods. Our goal is to inspire dog owners to build a strong bond with their dogs through training while we provide the knowledge and skills they need.
We aim to help owners with training issues ranging from general obedience to behavior modification, allowing dogs and their owners to live a less stressful and more harmonious life together.

Key Tenets of our Mission:

1. Balanced Approach:

Balanced training is characterized by giving a dog choices, then giving them feedback on those choices. Through these training methods, we open up a line of communication between you and your dog by marking behaviors and following through in the form of a consequence (a reward or a correction). By utilizing classical conditioning as well as all four quadrants of operant conditioning, the training is always tailored to suit the individual dog's needs.

2. Customized Training:

We understand that every dog is unique, and can require different approaches to training. We take the time to assess each dog's personality, and behavioral challenges. By tailoring training plans to address you and your dog’s needs, we ensure that the training process remains effective and efficient.

We strive to stay updated on the latest research, advancements, and best practices in dog training, ensuring that our methods are always based on scientifically proven techniques.

3. Ethical and Compassionate Care:

The well-being of the dogs in our care is our top priority. We ensure that dogs are treated with compassion and respect throughout their training journey.
