Welcome to Confident Paws Dog Training
Hi! I'm Ginger Morris CTP-KPA I am a Certified Training Partner with Karen Pryor Academy and a Team Facilitator for Atlas Assistance Dogs, working to complete my Service Dog Training Certification.
I've been working with dogs of all breeds, ages and temperaments for 25 years. I use only positive reinforcement training methods backed by the latest science. I am committed to learning from the world's top behaviorists, my peers, my clients and utilize that information to train the dog in front of me. Just like people, dogs are unique in preferences, motivations, and behaviors! I
find the "Aha!" moments that occur between handler and pup at the moment that each realizes they've been heard AND understood by the other to be incredibly fulfilling and I keep that momentum going with game-based learning and variety that keeps both ends of the lead engaged and connected.
One of the first questions I ask new clients is: What do you want your puppy to be when they grow up? This helps me guide the client to the training program most suitable for them. Whether you're looking for a wonderful pet/companion, a Service Dog, or a Therapy Dog I can create a package and training plan that meets your needs!
Give your pup the best start in life! Start training early to avoid pitfalls. Trying to "correct" undesirable behaviors that are often accidentally reinforced by pet parents, creates extra expense and frustration down the road. By ensuring solid foundational skills are in place, giving your dog choice and autonomy whenever possible, understanding your dog's body language, motivation, and their basic needs, are all great assurances you will have a wonderful relationship with your dog for many years to come!
