We Develop Win-Win
Relationship Between
People and their Dogs?
We are balanced open-minded trainers who understand that a flexible dog training system in which you have more choices will give you the highest chance of success. Each dog, household makeup, and training situation is unique. A flexible yet robust system adapts to the variables encountered with individual personalities. The term system suggests order, regularity, and synchronization of methods into a comprehensive whole.
Our training programs are particularly effective for teaching new puppies the house rules. We use a lot of positive reinforcement training with our puppy development programs. This is so the puppy can start learning important lessons right from the beginning. Using positive reinforcement will also allow your pup to work for longer periods of time without being excessively affected by the negative effects of stress. Although we want to keep stress down during certain parts of the learning phase, we also need to teach the puppy how to deal with the stress encountered in daily life. Hence the stress tolerance exercises we incorporate into the training programs.
One of the main reasons people come to us is because they didn’t start training their dogs as puppies, and now the dog is displaying behavior the people find hard to live with. These behaviors range from minor annoyances to behaviors that threaten the household’s safety and security. Solving behavior problems can sometime be a difficult process. Our training system allows us to approach your dog’s problem from both an evolutionary and behavioral point of view. This is where understanding dog behavior as well as how to teach people about dogs really comes in handy. These are both things our head trainers are quite skilled at.

What is the reason you
got a pet?
Is your dog living up to those expectations?
Close your eyes and think about how it makes you feel when the relationship between you and your dog is going great. Now close your eyes and think how you feel when the relationship with your dog is not at its best, such as when the dog is misbehaving.
How would you like to have more of the great
relationship feelings while getting rid of the negative feelings? A great
relationship with your dog means you can experience more enjoyment from
owning a dog
