Most
programs focus on the dog; but YOUR training is just as important. How well do you think you could learn from a teacher
who taught using only stern, intimidating commands? Worse, what if those commands were barked at you in a language you
don’t understand and by a person unable to understand you? Unfortunately, this is exactly the kind of "training"
most dogs have to endure.
We advocate gentle, humane, postive reinforcement training techniques.
It's shocking but true: There remain far too many trainers who
rely on punitive, frightening, and hurtful methods in dog training. Such "dominating," so-called "Pack-Leader"
philosophies are even promoted in popular culture. All dogs (and students) learn differently and we teach a variety of
methods. All of them, however, are founded on gentle, humane, and positive principles.
Our use of these methods results in much more than just a well trained dog. They also help build a deeper, more
loving bond between pet and parent.
We
don’t just teach you how to train; we help you become the best parent your dog can have.
Our training is comprehensive and includes both in-depth, specific discussions
as well as a “big-picture” approach. Before he or she can learn, your dog must first
be happy, healthy, and well adjusted. That's why our classes include general care-taking techniques such as basic first
aid, diet, common ailments, and healthy habits. We teach you how to train; but our main
goal is for you to become better companion to your pet. It's our proven philosophy and
exactly as our motto states:
