Welcome to Holistic CanineTherapies - Sandy Utah

So, what the heck is Puppenschnoodles, anyway!?!

Puppenschnoodles is the term for what everyone does as soon as the Puppenschnoodles web page opens! People coo at those cute little puppies, we just know they do! Some 'goo-goo' and 'gaa-gaa', some get right on the floor to lap up as much puppy breath as possible and others just say "Oh, how cute!" But, everyone does it! People seem to be totally smitten by puppies—and that is Puppenschnoodles!

At Puppenschnoodles, we are dedicated to the total well-being and happiness of your dog through Pawsitive Change! The goal is to educate you, the dog owner, and empower you to make the best decisions throughout the lifetime of your companion. We regularly hold training and nutrition courses in central Utah and we participate in seminars all over the state and the surrounding areas.

Puppenschnoodles uses Positive-Reinforcement methods only! New to Positive Training? Take it from us—it's FUN—as dog training should be! We use Humane, Holistic and Incredibly Effective techniques! We want you to have a Happy and Healthy Pup for life and we don't want your dog to just learn commands. We want you to learn how to communicate with them while strengthening the bond between you and your pup.

The idea is to reward your pup for correct behavior and not punish for incorrect behavior or force a dog to comply through "dominance" techniques. We never want to punish our pups as we cannot effectively punish dogs in a way they understand. Punishing or forcing your pup to comply will eventually instill fear and confusion in them and make the training process harder, longer and eventually unreliable. Often times, these techniques can also lead to other behavior problems such as fear-based aggression in dogs.

The biggest difference between our methods and most other "Dog Trainers" is that our focus is always on nutrition, first and foremost, before beginning a training regimen. Why? Because it simply plays that big of a role in the training process. If your dog can absorb and retain the nutrition he needs, he will be able to focus and pay attention, which means he'll be more obedient! Works every time!
