Over the years, we have developed training techniques that helps us teach you how to communicate with your dog reliably. Understanding that dog's primary duty is to please its' master, it is then crucial that we establish a clear line of communication between the two of you. Communication is the key and once you establish this; there are no limits to what you may be able to do together. We practice the POSITIVE training method, known in the business as "Praise Reward". We also use different techniques, when or if needed and depending on the dogs titration level.
