History
Our approach Lucid is a reward-based dog training company that teaches an integrative and balanced approach to training pet dogs while focusing on creating harmony between people, dogs, other pets, and the environments they share. As a lifetime learning experience, Lucid uses the latest instructional design systems, motivational theories, and teaching and training methods. In the Lucid approach, people are empowered to continue teaching their dogs new behaviors and commands for years because proper socialization and relationship building are emphasized - not just training. This is a hands-on, fully supported, resource-driven approach that combines face-to-face and online learning in a way that incorporates the entire family.
Specialties
In-Person Training Programs For people who desire deep, active connections with their dogs, Lucid creates customized programs that emphasize engagement and fun through learning exercises, games and activities that simultaneously promote training and relationship building. Because all of our training is done from the home of the dog-owner, environmental stability is supported while socialization and obedience are addressed. Online Training Programs Sometimes, online training is a great option. If in-person training isn't possible due to distance, scheduling conflicts, health circumstances, dog reactivity/aggression, or other logistics, then training online simply makes the most sense. During these sessions, we work one-on-one with our clients and afterward, we electronically provide supplemental training handouts. Seminars and Retreats For dog-friendly businesses, churches, neighborhood associations or other groups, Lucid is available for both learning and training-focused seminars. Example topics include:
