Training Philosophy

TRAINING MADE EASY

At Far Fetched Acres, we believe in positive, gentle, and science-backed dog training methods designed to bring out the best in your pup. Our customized approach ensures that each dog receives individualized attention, with training sessions tailored to their unique needs and your specific goals. Throughout the day, dogs engage in structured solo training sessions as well as supervised group work, reinforcing skills in various settings. Our program also includes enriching activities, our Mind Yer Manners service, and plenty of one-on-one quality time. For added convenience, we also offer private training sessions in the comfort of your own home.

THE BENEFITS OF SCIENCE-BASED DOG TRAINING AND POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT

Owning a dog is one of life’s greatest joys, but it also comes with significant responsibility. Proper training is essential to fostering a happy, well-adjusted pet—and choosing the right training method can feel overwhelming. That’s where we come in.

At Far Fetched Acres, we remove the guesswork by using Positive Reinforcement Dog Training, a proven, science-supported approach. Unlike outdated methods that rely on punishment and intimidation, positive reinforcement focuses on rewarding desired behaviors while gently discouraging unwanted ones. Studies in behavioral science consistently show that animals (and humans!) learn best when they feel safe, engaged, and motivated—leading to lasting behavioral changes rather than temporary compliance.

Our entire team integrates positive reinforcement into everything we do, ensuring a consistent and supportive learning environment for every pup in our care. This approach strengthens the bond between humans and dogs, making training less about discipline and more about communication, trust, and mutual understanding.
