About Us

Dog training should be fun! For you and your dog.

At Forte Dog Training, We train our dogs with the goal being to have a fantastic time with our dogs! We get dogs who are happy, healthy, wanting to work with us and loving life!

Megan Innes has been training dogs since she was 10 years old and horses since she was 11. Currently she is competing and titling in trick training, scent detection, agility, rally, sheep herding tests, and sprinter testing. As a reactive dog Forte has found through scent detection that he has grown in confidence to be able to take on so many different sports.

Positive Training Methodology

Forte Dog Training teaches using positive reinforcement and motivational methods. To help your dog understand what we are trying to teach them, we use food rewards. This method of teaching is proven to accelerate the learning process for dogs. The alternative to positive training, is to use compulsion and aversive methods and this type of training is not only old-fashioned and highly outdated, but also produces dogs that work out of fear and not because they “want” to. We want both yourselves AND your dog to enjoy the learning and training process!
