Yellow Brick Dogs is a dog training company, based in Midlothian, Virginia. Yellow Brick Dogs is owned by Lulu Clarke, a dog lover committed to strengthening the bond between dogs and their partners (humans!).
Lulu's training methods are fun, practical, and easy to understand. Positive reinforcement methods, mainly clicker training, are used to teach your dog or puppy in a way he/she can understand.
Lulu is a member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers. Visit the links area to find out more about this organization.
Whenever we do anything around or with our dogs, we are influencing them--in either a good way or a not so good way. One way we can ensure that we are influencing our dogs in a good way is by managing their environment...
Is a reward always a food treat? Not always. Food is a convenient and often very motivating reward for good behavior. The important thing to remember when selecting a reward (or consequence) is how important your dog finds the reward...
Sit (and stand and down, as well) is a "position exercise" and is an extremely useful skill for every dog to have in their repertoire.
Lulu has experience working with horses, cats, and even fish! These methods work for every animal. Lulu taught her Betta fish, Dumbledore, to swim through a hoop on cue and to push a floating cork in a circle.
