TRAINING
METHODS
We use dog-friendly methods, relying on positive reinforcement and management to achieve our training goals. Our emphasis is on building a good relationship through consistency and reward. We like our students to have fun while training, but to make a serious commitment to the training process. The dogs are treated with respect and understanding of their breed tendencies. Owners are encouraged to be proud of their dog's individual triumphs!
