Our methods are humane and reward-based.

We believe food reward training is the easiest, quickest, and most family-friendly way to train companion dogs.

We don’t use aversives (things your dog finds threatening/offensive) in our training.

We spend the majority of our efforts on training dogs what to do or what we want by reinforcing behaviors we want to see more of.

We teach the dog what TO DO (a proactive approach) using the clicker and shaping,  rather than focusing on what NOT to do using reprimands and corrections (a reactive approach).

We will not tell you to “put the dog in her place,” “show the dog who’s boss,” or focus on status and pack order.

Behavior that is reinforced (commonly referred to as “rewarded”) occurs more often.

Common reinforcers are: food, play, toys, affection, access to other dogs, and walks, but can be anything your dog loves.

Dog training becomes fun for you and your dog, and we avoid damaging our relationship with our pet by being nasty.

Sounds good, doesn’t it?
