Consistency and Dedication

Brandon firmly believes that a "good dog" is not merely the result of genetics but the outcome of consistent and dedicated training. This philosophy is the driving force behind his work at The Copper Cottage Canines, where he dedicates himself to addressing the diverse needs of dogs and their owners. Whether he is helping prospective dog owners find the perfect puppy that aligns with their lifestyle, offering personalized training guidance to cultivate well-behaved companions, or addressing specific behavioral issues like reactivity, Brandon's approach is rooted in a deep understanding of canine behavior. He also emphasizes the importance of responsible breeding practices, ensuring that every dog comes from a background that prioritizes health and temperament.

Positive Reinforcement

At The Copper Cottage Canines, positive reinforcement is at the heart of their training methodology. By rewarding desired behaviors, Brandon and his team encourage dogs to learn commands and actions in a supportive and enjoyable way. This approach not only strengthens the bond between the dog and its owner but also fosters a sense of trust and eagerness to learn. The next step in their training process involves gentle correction – applying the least amount of pressure necessary to redirect the dog's attention when they stray from the desired behavior. Brandon believes that using the right tools of the trade can help make actions faster and more precise, allowing dogs to grasp commands with clarity and confidence. Through this comprehensive training strategy, Brandon aims to empower dog owners to cultivate well-rounded canine companions who thrive in their homes and communities.
