The Training Philosophy

The Training Philosophy

A dog's mind is a terrible thing too waste. Your dog has a mind and a need to use it! Take advantage of his/her brilliance and enter both of you in school. Put aside the idea that obedience training is for "bad dogs" (there are no bad dogs). Great training is an opportunity for you and your dog to spend quality time together, and really get to know one another. Good Dog Manners and everyone will love you BOTH for it. You will be able to take your dog everywhere, anyplace, anytime.

I believe that successful relationship is created between dog and human by building a bond of mutual trust and respect. I use only methods that enhance the communication between dog and handler. I teach positive reinforcement based on training that builds the self esteem and confidence of both dog and handler. I do not use and will not allow anyone to use any type of correction verbal or physical that will break down the relationship between dog and handler. Those types of corrections escalate aggression.
