If you are committed to learning how to make your dog's life richer, we'd love to be your trainer.
We teach only Science based Positive reinforcement training & management methods. Which means it will strengthen the bond between you and your dog. No need to pay thousands of dollars to understand your dog. This is not a one size fits all franchise.
Our methodology is to give you an advanced look of the dog's complexed mind and basic knowledge of dog behavior. Changing what the human does effectively change the outcome in the dogs behavior. We do not use punitive methods like dominance (100 year old techniques), e-collars or prong collars which damage the relationship. You will learn how to deal with normal dog behavior, learn fear-free techniques to clearly communicate to your dog what you want and provide a foundation for future dog / human bonding activities. A well behaved dog is less likely to end up in a shelter, lifts many restrictions like being welcome in public and allows the dog to live inside with it's human family. Training also provides environmental and behavioral stimuli that is necessary for their psychological wellbeing. Early puppy training is beneficial not only for puppy but for the owner to understand all the puppy's mental and physical needs.
