Cosmic Dog Training Methods
Science-Based, Positive Reinforcement Dog Training
Cosmic Dog Training teaches games-based concept techniques to transform your dog’s behavior. The innovative games are short training routines that reshape your dog’s brain.
Top behavior specialists and dog trainers developed these games that address any training goal. There are hundreds of different games, all designed to target different behavior issues.
We focus on foundational concepts like calmness, focus, and optimism; essential life skills for any dog. Our approach trains for the moment, not in it – like athletes and musicians who prepare before the pressure is on. Dogs, much like humans, learn best outside of stressful situations. By teaching these core concepts in a calm environment, your dog builds the skills needed to confidently handle life’s everyday challenges.
These short, fun training sessions fit your daily life. With a few minutes of focused, intentional, playtime, you will see dramatic improvements in your dog’s behavior.
Training Focused on Connection
Many dog training methods rely on correction, punishment, intimidation, or suppression. At Cosmic Dog, we teach a better, scientifically proven way. Behavior issues often stem from fear, frustration, or over-arousal. It’s not from disobedience. That’s why we never use harsh corrections or any corrections at all.
Instead, we:
- Build up desirable behaviors through practice
- Teach dogs how to make good choices
- Help dogs feel safer and more connected
- Use rewards like food, toys, praise, touch, movement, and play to communicate
When your dog struggles they aren’t being defiant, they’re having difficulties. Which is why we focus on relationship first and connection based training methods. Because you and your dog deserve a training experience that feels good for both of you.
The S.I.L.S Method
At Cosmic Dog, we follow the S.I.L.S. framework for effective, long-term results:
S – Small We break training into clear, bite-sized steps to reduce overwhelm and increase clarity.
I – Incremental Each game builds on the last. Gradual, layered training leads to strong, sustainable change.
L – Learning Consistent learning for everyone—dog, human, and trainer.
S – Systems Having a system helps track progress, build momentum, and troubleshoot effectively.
We’d love to help you transform your dog’s behavior, strengthen your bond, and build a life of calm, joy, and confidence—together.
