Surprising Benefits of Virtual Dog Training

Did you know that virtual training can be more effective than in-person training for puppies and dogs? Oscar is proof - it’s how he learned! Here’s why virtual training is so effective:

1) You Learn by Doing: 
In face-to-face sessions, it’s easy to watch the trainer and feel like you’ve mastered the skill without actually practicing. Virtual training puts the focus on you performing the cues, which leads to better retention and skill mastery.

2) Your Dog Stays Focused: 
When the trainer is a “fly on the wall” (or a friendly face on Zoom), your dog remains in their natural environment. Adding a new person to the mix can be distracting and alter their behavior.

3) It’s Convenient: 
No need to tidy up or adjust your schedule for a visitor. Virtual sessions are flexible and easy to fit into your day.

The best part? You don’t need to live in Austin, Texas, to work with the Ci Dog Hub and our expert trainer, Jeannette Kincaid.
