Mission

Talk the Talk, Walk the Walk

It is my vocation to help dogs and their people have the best lives together through my words and actions as a R+ Positive Reinforcement Dog Trainer using Force Free humane non-aversive, science based training methods.  


"Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom."  - Viktor E. Frankl 

A caring Approach

The following policies have been put together to ensure your family dog’s health and safety along with your own.


VACCINATIONS


All dogs must have up to date vaccinations and be free of contagious diseases or illnesses. Proofs of vaccinations are mandatory before services are provided.


HEALTH CONDITION OF DOGS


In order to protect the dog trainer, other dogs, and the public, dogs that are ill or injured will not be provided services.


COVID-19 PROTECTION


Ariane is triple vaccinated against COVID-19 for her own and your protection.  Masks are optional during One on One training and Small Group Classes.  


Come train with your dog at the Dedicated Dog Training Facility in Brandon Manitoba! All training levels welcome!

SCIENTIFICALLY SOUND, HUMANE NON-AVERSIVE TRAINING METHODS


Ariane believes in using only R+ positive reinforcement Force Free training methods with the dogs in her care and teaching only the same to her clients. She uses wholesome treats to reward good behaviours and redirect unwanted behaviours towards more productive ones.


HEALTH AND SAFETY

Ariane takes your family dog’s health and safety very seriously. Pet CPR, First Aid, & Care Certified through St. John Ambulance, she has a first aid kit on hand as well as extra equipment in case of emergency. Her understanding of dog body language allows her to respond to your family dog’s needs in any given situation. 


BONDED AND INSURED

Walk the Walk is covered by extensive insurance through PROfur. Ariane is bonded and insured for mutual protection and peace of mind.

FIVE FREEDOMS


1. Freedom from thirst, hunger, and malnutrition – by ready access to a diet to maintain full health and vigor.

2. Freedom from thermal and physical discomfort – by providing a suitable environment including shelter and a comfortable resting area.

3. Freedom from pain, injury, and disease – by prevention or rapid diagnosis and treatment.

4. Freedom from fear and distress – by ensuring conditions that avoid mental suffering. 

5. Freedom to express (most) normal behaviours – by providing sufficient space, proper facilities, and company of the animal’s own kind.
