If you're looking for thoughtful dog training that is positive and relationship-building, then you've come to the right place. Positive reinforcement dog training works by using praise and positive actions or rewards, rather than punishment or correctional actions, to teach your dog right from wrong. The key with this type of training is to determine what it is that motivates your dog, and use that motivator as a reward upon correct performance. In positive reinforcement dog training you can use treats, toys, physical affection, verbal praise or a combination of any of those, to reward your dog for correct behavior.

We Don't:

• Use prong, shock or choke collars

• Jerk on the collar to correct the dog

• Correct the dog when we haven't already completely taught him what we want him to do

• Set the dog up for failure

We Do:

• Help you understand the root causes of "normal" but unwanted dog behaviors

• Work with you to set up a management program to prevent unwanted behaviors until new behaviors are in place

• Teach you how to:

  • Teach your dog the rules of your household (pack) = GOOD MANNERS!

  • Use positive reinforcement (usually food rewards) in training

  • Use management and training tools that are gentle on your dog

  • Teach your dog to want to pay attention to you

  • Teach your dog useful obedience skills

  • Transition from frequent to less frequent rewards when you and your dog are ready

  • Set your dog up for success in training and living with you
