Our experienced trainers customize each program to address your dog’s unique behavior and your specific goals, ensuring effective learning and lasting results.

Yes. We tailor every program to the dog, including dogs that are uncomfortable around other dogs. The sessions take place in your home and focus on your dog’s own behavior. Our trainers work with you on socialization so your dog becomes more confident.
What vaccinations does my dog need?
To ensure your dog’s health and safety during training, it’s essential they are up-to-date with the standard vaccinations recommended in Portugal. These include:
Rabies: Mandatory in Portugal to protect against this serious disease. (ACP)
Parvovirus: Protects against a highly contagious viral illness.
Distemper: Guards against a severe viral disease affecting multiple body systems.
Leptospirosis: Prevents a bacterial infection that can affect both dogs and humans.
Hepatitis: Protects against infectious canine hepatitis.
Kennel Cough (Bordetella): Especially important if your dog will be staying with us, as it prevents respiratory infections common in communal settings.
Your veterinarian can administer these vaccinations and provide guidance on maintaining your dog’s health.
Can you work on a specific issue with my dog?
Absolutely. At TYR Dogs, we specialize in addressing a wide range of behavioral issues, including:
Aggression: Implementing strategies to manage and reduce aggressive behaviors.
Separation Anxiety: Techniques to help your dog feel more comfortable when alone.
Excessive Barking: Training to control and minimize unnecessary barking.
Destructive Chewing: Redirecting chewing habits to appropriate items.
House Training: Establishing consistent routines for indoor behavior.
Our experienced trainers will assess your dog’s specific challenges and develop a customized training plan to effectively address and resolve these issues.
Is your training program based solely on positive reinforcement?
No. We use a balanced approach that combines positive reinforcement with fair corrections. Your dog learns to do the right thing for a reward, and also learns to respect the boundaries you set.
A dog trained only with rewards often behaves well only when it expects a reward. A balanced approach gives you a dog that listens in any situation.
People work the same way. Rewards encourage good behavior, and fair consequences keep order and safety. In dog training, rewards plus fair corrections make expectations clear and behavior reliable.
Our goal is a relationship with your dog built on respect and understanding, and a dog that fits well into your family and your community.
