Lovebug Dog Training Club

At Lovebug, we focus on strengthening the bond between you and your dog using Positive Reinforcement Training, a proven, science-based approach. We will teach your dog to perform the behaviors you want, when you want them, all while treating them with kindness and without resorting to fear or punishment. It is crucial for your dogs to have agency and choice; we just want them to know that making the right choices will always lead to the best rewards. Our training tools will include clickers, high-value treats, toys, repetition, and patience. We do not use aversive methods, intimidation, or fear-based techniques (no electronic/shock collars, choke chains, or harsh corrections). We use the LIMA (Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive) protocol, which ensures a humane and collaborative approach to training. Our training sessions are meant to foster a peaceful, safe, and worry-free relationship between you and your dog. There is no ultimate, one-size-fits-all goal, and there is no singular list of traits that make up the perfect dog - ’ll train toward whatever works best for you and your dog.
