When we use your dog's natural play drive—like a game of tug or frisbee—we aren't just teaching a command; we're teaching them that being with you is the absolute highlight of their day. It’s not just about compliance; it’s about becoming the most interesting thing in their environment. ### Why play-based training works If you want your dog to listen, you have to be more exciting than the distraction in front of them. When we incorporate play—using a frisbee, a ball, or a tug toy—we are tapping into their natural instincts. This isn't about wild, uncontrolled energy. It’s about channeling that intensity into focus. ### My approach to 'Fun in Action' * **Drive Building:** I teach you how to use toys to build engagement so your dog checks in with you, even in high-distraction environments like Cubbon Park. * **Beyond Kibble:** We move past just using food for rewards. While treats are great, using play as a currency makes the training feel like a reward in itself. * **The 90/10 Rule:** Remember, I'm coaching you, not just your dog. We will practice the mechanics of tug and fetch so you can effectively reward your dog without letting them get over-aroused or frustrated. ### Is this right for you? This approach works wonders for high-energy breeds like German Shepherds, Border Collies, or any dog that just needs a 'job' to do. However, it requires you to be an active participant. If you are looking for a quick fix where you drop the dog off for 'obedience school' and pick them up 'fixed,' this isn't it. If you want to sweat a little, learn some mechanics, and build a stronger, more trusting relationship with your best friend, then we are going to have a blast. ## About Pranati I'm Pranati, and I’m pretty much obsessed with my GSD, Theo. We found our rhythm through play, and that’s exactly what I teach—turning training into the funnest part of your dog's routine instead of a chore.
