Professional Approach
We exclusively use a positive, dog friendly, no force approach to training. We also proudly subscribe to the LIMA (Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive) training philosophy.
We use a wide array of rewards and motivation to teach dogs to be well mannered companions. We know that rewards are specific to the animal, so we strive to find the appropriate and most effective reward for each and every dog we work with.
We often use treats to reward good behavior, but we also want to understand what motivates YOUR DOG to listen, be it treats, toys, playtime, chase, and even small but powerful rewards, like to ability to greet dogs or people and even chase a creature on occasion. All of these rewards build better behavior from our dogs.
