Meet Faith
Faith found her love for training in 2013, after successfully working through advanced obedience and trick training with a Shih-Tzu named Frank. She felt a strong affinity for the field, and began working with local doggy daycares. After gaining experience working with many breeds, behaviors, and temperaments, and providing many pet parents with useful training advice, Faith decided to take the leap to make training a full-time venture.
Faith is proud to have worked with a large variety of breeds, and is the proud owner of four of her own dogs. Her breeds at home consist of two German Shepherds, one Pitbull, and one Golden Retriever. The business Faith in Paws is dedicated to her German Shepherd "Lydia" who has crossed the rainbow bridge.
Accreditation
Faith earned her training certification after two years through Animal Behavior College, based in Santa Clarita, California. She currently uses the LIMA method, a reward-based system that uses operant and classical conditioning for those seeking training without a prong collar or E-collar. She specializes in animal behavior and advanced problem solving, including barking, jumping, biting, resource guarding, and reactivity desensitization.
She is the owner of Faith in Paws, based in Sinclairville NY.
Why Private Training?
In home training is the most effective method of dog training.
Private training allows owners to be involved in the learning process, equipping them with the knowledge to reinforce training at home. Overall, this approach is more effective and creates lasting results in your dog's obedience.
Having the pet parent present for each class ensures the bond is being created between the owner and their dog, not the trainer and the dog.
With tempting options like board and train, there leaves a large room for error. During board and train lessons, the training bond is created between the trainer and the dog, not the owner and the dog. Confusion can also be created by training in a facility because the dog becomes accustomed to preforming in a specific place by a specific person creating an attachment to the facility itself. This often leaves dogs and owners confused and needing recurring lessons due to indirect transference of knowledge.
