Dog training methods and philosophies have evolved through the years. Fear and/or punishment can be strong motivators, but at Platinum Paws we believe there’s a better way. We know that the cornerstone of effective training is a strong bond between you and your dog. The compassionate training method is designed to strengthen that bond by teaching you to communicate effectively with your best friend, without the use of a choke collar or other punitive techniques.

Through positive reinforcement and loving leadership, you can teach your dog the behaviors you expect and eliminate undesirable ones.

We know that an effective dog trainer must be both a “dog person” and a “people person.” BC Henschen, co-owner of Platinum Paws, brings not only an extensive background in dog training but his high energy level and unique sense of humor to each session. His training experience includes private and group settings, and he regularly conducts public training demonstrations. As a member of several pet training associations, he continues to keep abreast of the most current training techniques and is thrilled to introduce Compassionate Training to the Carmel and Zionsville areas.

We understand that your time is precious so Platinum Paws offers in home training sessions scheduled at your convenience.   Our trainer comes to your home and works with you and your dog in the environment that your dog is accustomed to.  These sessions are tailored to your exact needs or if you are just starting with your dog, we can customize a training plan that helps your dog become a good mannered member of the family.

During the first at home session, you and the trainer will spend some time discussing your wishes for your dog.  Listening to your needs is a large part of our program!  Once your needs are established, our trainer will lay out a plan to accomplish your goals and the training will start. The first session usually lasts about 90 minutes. It is not always possible to address every need in one session, so additional sessions can be added anytime you would like.  Most of our clients prefer doing the Package Deal which has total of 4 in-home visits.

ALL TIMES ARE SPENT IN HOME WORKING WITH YOU. THERE IS NO CHARGE FOR TRAVEL TO YOUR HOME.
