About T.L.C Dog Training With Love By Carol

Positive training across the Northwoods

TLC Dog Training – Training with Love by Carol runs classes in Lake Tomahawk, Rhinelander, Sayner and Tomahawk and offers practical dog training for families throughout the Northwoods of Wisconsin. Owner Carol Lofquist is a professional dog trainer, and the site credits her with more than 25 years of experience and work with over 8,000 dogs.

Method

The training uses positive reinforcement: rather than focusing on punishment, wanted behaviors are rewarded with praise, treats, toys and clear communication. The stated goal is to help owners understand their dog, improve communication and build skills for better behavior at home and in everyday life, tailored to each dog's personality and the family's goals.

Private lessons and classes

Private lessons are one-on-one and built around a personalized training plan, in a calm, familiar setting where the dog and family spend the most time together. They suit new puppies, rescue dogs that need help adjusting, and dogs with behavior challenges. Carol also teaches the sport of agility, with classes for dogs and handlers of a variety of experience levels, and posts seasonal class schedules for each location.

What owners say

One client wrote that Carol's instruction is very easy to follow and that she makes sure the dogs and owners are always getting a positive experience.
