The Power of the 90/10 Rule:
Mindset Over Behavior
​
At Perfect Pooch Dog Training, our proven methods are rooted in canine psychology, teaching you to address the unwanted behaviors at their source: the altered mindset. While many trainers focus solely on what a dog is doing, we take a deep dive into what your dog is thinking and feeling and why. We recognize that every behavior is a reflection of a dog's mindset, so learning to recognize the current mindset and learning how to change it to an appropriate mindset is key to overcoming these issues. That is why we live by our signature 90/10 Rule: training is 90% psychological and only 10% physical. By learning to recognize and shift an altered state of mind back to a state that is calm and submissive, we can tackle the root cause of the issue rather than just patching over the symptoms.
Through a balance of rewards and consequences, we empower you to shape your dog’s decision-making. When a dog understands a command, they face a choice; we teach you how to ensure they choose to follow your lead instead of testing boundaries. By replacing chaos and anxiety with structure and expert leadership, you will provide your furry friend with the clarity and peace of mind they need to navigate the world confidently.
​
In the animal kingdom, there are no "doggy police" to provide protection—dogs rely entirely on the structure of their pack to feel safe. When a human fails to project clear leadership, it creates a vacuum that leaves submissive dogs feeling insecure forcing them into an unwanted leadership position, and drives dominant dogs to take charge. It is our responsibility as owners to take the reins and provide the consistent structure dogs require to remain secure in any environment and relieve them of those heavy pack leader responsiblities, like pack safety! At Perfect Pooch, we empower you to become the ultimate pack leader, transforming insecurities into confidence and building a bond rooted in deep, mutual respect.
In-Home Behavioral Modification
Expertise You Can Trust. Results You Can See.
​
At Perfect Pooch Dog Training, we believe every dog has potential—which is why we have never turned a dog away. Since 2010, we have been refining our methods that addresses the root of behavioral issues using the 90/10 Rule, from leash reactivity and nuisance barking to intense aggression, in-pack fighting, and resource guarding.
​
Our approach centers on establishing a structured leadership role for the humans. We show you how to create two clear groups within your pack: the Pack Leader Group (all humans) and the Follower Group (all dogs). Pack Leaders make all the decisions and own everything, and the dogs look to us for direction and are willing to surrender anything (resources) to their pack leaders.
​
Why Our Structure Works:
-
Total Ownership: When humans own the "Pack Leader" status, dogs move into a submissive follower mindset, acknowledging that the leaders own all resources.
-
Neutralizes Conflict: By removing a dog's ability to "claim" items or space, we eliminate resource guarding and unhealthy competition.
-
Decisive Leadership: We stop bullying and in-pack fighting by ensuring the humans, not the dogs, make all decisions regarding pack dynamics.
Whether your dog is struggling with fear, insecurities, or "uncontrollable" behavior, our decade-plus of experience will help you reclaim your role as pack leader.
​
Transform your dog’s mindset and restore peace to your pack today.
