How does CCG differ?
Methodology
The TPR Method
As dog parents, we are all familiar with distractions, triggers, and of course their natural instincts.
CCG does not teach "basic obedience" based on the stereotypical belief that dogs need to be "OBEDIENT ROBOTS". It's not how everyday life works, and it's not why we brought these dogs into our lives in the first place.
We studied training methods from all canine careers (bomb sniffing, dog shows, service dogs, etc), and we used the science to back up the methodology.
So what's our method?
We use The Totem Pole of Reactivity ©, also known as the TPR Method ©
The bottom of the TPR is the dog's lowest reactivity, working to the top of the TPR, being the dog's most reactive trigger. It's important to understand not all dogs share the same value of reactivity and triggers.
This is the reason why CCG uses TPR to help dogs have a health mental and physical state. It's based on a mix between the scientific method, and studies of dog ethology.
