About Canine Einstein

<h2>A private canine gym, not just a training room</h2>

<p>Canine Einstein describes itself as "more than just another dog training facility" – a private canine gym in Milwaukee offering group classes, private training, private gym rentals, pack play groups and community lectures. The framing is urban: "Teaching dogs to tolerate our urban settings, while helping them meet their natural canine needs is key."</p>

<h3>What is offered</h3>

<p>Classes are "designed with the urban pooch in mind," covering basic and intermediate manners, patio pooches, tricks for confidence and skills for the urban dog. Reactive-dog work combines games and training to help a dog "learn to tolerate dogs and people within their space," and graduates continue in the BARC Club community and a private Facebook group open to any reactive-dog owner. Private training can be run in the home, in the gym, or out in the community. The enrichment-focused gym can be rented privately, which the site recommends for dogs who "prefer to not socialize with other dogs or who are shy and nervous." Pack playgroups are deliberately small and supervised, "perfect for social dogs who prefer small groups or get overstimulated easily," and puppy work pairs classes, private training and puppy playgroups.</p>

<h3>Method in their own words</h3>

<p>"We look at the entire dog, not just a behavior – we are not interested in just creating dogs that 'obey' and follow commands – we want to build better relationships with our dogs and dog guardians." Communication is described as "a two-way street." The whole team is stated to be Fear Free Certified and force free, defined on the site as "teaching an animal without pain, intimidation, threats, force, or coercion," with training in canine body language, enrichment, leash handling, CPR and canine development.</p>

<h3>Trainers</h3>

<p>Three trainers are named with credentials: Dawn Jacques (CPDT-KA, L-FDM), Sylvie Armstrong (CPDT-KA, FDM, FFPP) and Mary Fisher (CPDT-KA, FDM, FFPP). Sylvie is described as having worked in shelters, vet hospitals and training facilities for over a decade.</p>
