Fetch provides group classes and in-home training for puppies and adult dogs in the Twin Cities and surrounding areas.
Progressive Reinforcement Training
We have two objectives: we want to help you reach your goals with your dog, and we want to improve your relationship with your dog in the process. To do this, we use techniques that have been scientifically demonstrated to be efficient, effective, and safe. Positive methods work with any age, any breed, and any personality.
We follow the principles of Progressive Reinforcement Training: "Progressive Reinforcement Training is not a permissive form of training. It requires providing consequences to all behaviors. The trainer takes on the role of a benevolent leader and guide using these ethical and scientifically based methods."
