Seventh Heaven Pet Care offers Dog Training services in the Richmond, VA area and the Northern VA area. My focus is on helping you build a positive and rewarding relationship with your dog! I use only Positive Reinforcement training methods and follow the LIMA guidelines that direct us to the "Least Intrusive, Minimally Invasive" methods to train your dog. What is Positive Reinforcement Training?

Positive Reinforcement Dog Training involves rewarding your dog for the things they do right and replacing unwanted behaviors with new, positive behaviors. Check out my testimonials to see how well this works! 

The reward could be a toy, a game, or a treat – whatever your dog wants to work for. To some people that sounds like a bribe, not training, and they want their dog to obey just because they should. But positive reinforcement training is neither a bribe nor a gimmick. It’s based on the science of animal learning, and it’s incredibly effective.

The goal is to teach your dog to make better decisions and regulate their emotional responses. This leads to better results, a better relationship with your dog and a great time!
