What Makes Our Training Different

Our training programs focus on teamwork and positive reinforcement. We do not use prong collars, e-collars or any other fear/pain based methods. 

Our proven, positive training approach will teach your dog manners,  obedience skills and help eliminate unwanted behaviors. Through training, you will have a happy, well-mannered dog you can take anywhere!

WHAT IS POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT?

Positive reinforcement is simple: if your dog is rewarded for doing a certain behavior, there's a better chance of that behavior happening again. In other words, if there are good consequences, behavior is likely to be repeated. The behavior has therefore been positively reinforced. 

The use of positive reinforcement methods for teaching dogs has been endorsed by veterinarians and the behavioral scientific community at large as the most effective, long-lasting, humane, and safe method of training dogs.

Obedience Training

FOCUS ON TEAMWORK

The strongest relationships between dogs and humans are based on cooperation and kindness rather than on human dominance and animal submission. If you choose to use positive techniques when building a relationship with your dog, you're well on your way to establishing and maintaining a connection that increases trust and results in a stronger, healthier bond. Put simply, if your dog feels good about you, they will be happier, more confident, and more likely to respond to you when you ask them to do something.

WHY WE DON'T USE E-COLLARS

There are a few types of collars you should never use on your dog and at the very top of that list is a shock or electronic collar. Many dog parents don’t understand the physical and behavioral issues these collars can create. This is unfortunate, as dogs continue to suffer pain in the name of training, and their parents are often unaware of the consequences.

Training dogs using pain and intimidation increases the likelihood of stress behaviors, mistrust, fear, and aggression.

E-collars may force a dog to stop a behavior at that moment, but the stress and anxiety they cause can lead to more aggression in the future and can cause entirely new behavioral problems.
