A ‘Positive’ Approach

Postive Dog training at it's very best!

Positive Reinforcement Only

We do not use force, fear, shock, prong collars, intimidation, or punishment in our training methods. Instead, we believe in the power of positive reinforcement, where behavior that is rewarded tends to increase — and as a result, dogs learn faster and more effectively. Our approach, which we call Science-Based Learning, is built on a foundation of proven, ethical behavioral science that is firmly rooted in the principles of classical and operant conditioning. By employing these techniques, we create an environment where dogs feel secure and motivated to learn, leading to more lasting and meaningful behavioral changes.

Imagine how your life could be with a happy, well-trained dog

At Naples Dog Academy, we believe that great behavior begins with kindness, clarity, and trust. Our Positive Approach Dog Training method is 100% force-free and rooted in science-based, reward-driven learning theories. We never use shock, prong, intimidation, or fear. Instead, we teach your dog through encouragement, motivation, and clear communication—because a behavior rewarded will always increase.

With over 25 years of experience, we help dogs and their families build stronger relationships, boost confidence, and enjoy faster, happier learning. Whether you’re raising a puppy, working through behavior issues, or building advanced obedience, our positive reinforcement training creates lasting results at home and in the real world.
