Our Training Philosophy
At Woofs of Wisdom Dog Training, our philosophy, passionately developed and implemented by Alora Tawoosi, a distinguished graduate of Animal Behavior College, is rooted in a deep understanding of the scientific principles of animal behavior. Alora's approach is built on the foundational tenets of operant conditioning, a method proven to effectively shape canine behavior. This involves reinforcing desired behaviors through rewards while guiding away from unwanted actions using consequences, ensuring a positive and stress-free learning environment for your beloved pet.
Central to Alora's philosophy is The LIMA approach – Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive. This means that in every training situation, we prioritize the gentlest, least invasive methods first and depending on the situation go up the scale. Our goal is to create a bond of trust and respect between you and your dog, rather than fear or submission. This approach not only enhances the dog's learning experience but also fosters a deeper, more meaningful relationship between owner and pet.
However, Alora's passion goes beyond mere techniques. She emphasizes the importance of how we communicate with our dogs. Miscommunication or incorrect training methods can be counterproductive, or worse, harmful. This is why Alora focuses not just on the 'what' of dog training, but heavily on the 'why' and 'how'. Understanding why certain methods work and how to apply them effectively is crucial. It's about more than just training; it's about building a language of understanding and empathy with our canine companions. This philosophy ensures that the journey of training is as rewarding and enriching for the dog as it is for the owner.
