At Four on the Floor Pet Care LLC, we believe training your dog should be fun for both teacher and learner. We only use science-based, positive reinforcement methods to train desired behaviors while building confidence, trust, and a strong bond with you. Our training is force-free, meaning no shock collars, prong collars, corrections, yelling, or intimidation... ever!
What Does "Science-Based" Mean?
What Does "Science-Based" Mean?
Our methods are based on decades of behavioral science, using proven principles from operant and classical conditioning. We focus on teaching behaviors your dog should do. Positive reinforcement means rewarding behaviors we like so they happen more often. It builds a thinking dog who works with you because they want to, not because they have to.
Common Myths About Dog Training
Common Myths About Dog Training
Too often, dog owners are told:
-“Dogs need to know who’s boss.”
-“Some dogs need a heavier hand.”
-“You need to be the "alpha” or "pack leader."
These are outdated beliefs that rely on dominance theory and fear-based tactics. In reality:
-Dogs don’t misbehave out of spite or hold a grudge, they just do what works for them.
-Correcting an emotional response such as barking, growling, or other reactivity only punishes the symptom, not the cause.
-Dominance, or "pack leader," theory has been debunked by modern behavior science.
