Our training philosophy is that the ideal canine-human relationship is a partnership. Therefore, we emphasize relationship based training and lean strongly towards positive reinforcement methods. We follow the Humane Hierarchy to achieve training and behavior goals. In accordance with the guidelines set forth by the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior and the Association of Professional Dog Trainers, we utilize positive reinforcement, operant conditioning, classical conditioning, desensitization, and counter conditioning. We welcome and encourage questions about our methods!
