Our training philosophy is “why? Instead of, how?” meaning that before coming up with a solid training / behavior modification plan for our clients and the dog(s) in front of us, we first must ask, “why is this animal exhibiting this behavior in the first place?” rather than “how am I going to fix this?”“Here at Prestigious Pooch, we pride ourselves on attention to detail & understanding the nuances of behavior that come with the extremely complex, often understated canine mind.” A combined 30 years of experience and continued education in the field are what allows Cora and Sim continue to successfully continue to work with dogs of all kinds, displaying all manner of behavioral issues, daily. Be that via board and train in their home or during private, in-home training sessions / consultations.
Who We Are
Both being certified professional dog trainers, and a married couple, Cora and Sim are a dynamic dog training duo! Prestigious Pooch offers a unique experience by providing a consistent, safe board and train environment that is situated amongst the beautiful Los Padres National Forest. They practice positive, reinforcement-based training in order to achieve the desired, long-term results that so many dog owners are looking for. Prestigious Pooch also offers private, in-home training that allows owners and dogs to learn in the comfort of their own homes. We strive to create a fun, judgment free and educational experience for both dogs and owners alike!
Dog Obedience
Behavioral issue focus: We work directly with the owners and their dogs to try to get to the root of any behavioral issue that they're experiencing. Once we have a better understanding of what is causing a behavior to occur, we will have a better chance of helping them with reaching their training goals. This includes reactivity (towards people, dogs, sounds etc.), anxiety, aggression, hyperactivity and any other behavior that the owner finds troublesome.
Dog Nutrition
Did you know that your dogs diet could have an effect on their behavior as well as their physical well-being? Dogs that are eating diets loaded with sugars and grains, which are less efficient on the body, tend to tire and lose interest in things more quickly (as a good deal of energy is being spent just trying to process these things.
Next Steps
Where do we go from here? We prefer to arrange a short phone consult prior to meeting in person to further discuss the issues that you are being faced with and or what it is that you are hoping to achieve with your dog. After this we will set up an in-home consultation which is where we will go over each family member's experience/relationship with their dog whilst observing the dog's behavior and their personal interactions. We will then discuss theory of dog behavior in a relatable and understandable manner before developing a customized plan to help them reach their goals. R+, fun, reward-based training for the whole family!
