About Animal Intuitions, LLC

<h2>Force-free training serving Batavia and Geneva</h2>

<p>Animal Intuitions (ai Trainers) serves "Batavia and Geneva [Illinois] and immediate surrounding areas." The banner line on its home page reads "20 years of training. 180 different species of animals." The site is written in the first person by Amber, and a testimonial published on the same page names her as Amber Walker and describes her "Dog Friendly Family" program.</p>

<h3>Method, stated plainly</h3>

<p>The training page is unusually explicit about tools. Favored equipment is listed as "event markers (like a clicker), reinforcements (treats, toys, affection, environment), 4-8 foot leashes, and harness." The site states: "We will never use: prong, chain or shock collars, punishing, such as yanking, yelling … squirt bottles or coin cans." On mistakes it says "the dog is never wrong" and the response is "re-directing, ignoring, and re-setting" rather than correction.</p>

<h3>Current availability &ndash; read before booking</h3>

<p>The site states that availability is limited: "We are not taking new clients who are in need of weekly or reoccurring training at this time." The stated current focus is supplemental training, filling the gap while owners wait for a group class or a Live/Learn program to begin, plus Zoom virtual consultations as needed. A "Find A Trainer" page on the same site refers visitors to other positive-reinforcement trainers across Batavia, Geneva, St. Charles, Aurora, Naperville and the wider Chicago suburbs.</p>
