Our Mission
To teach and inspire clients to build the human-canine relationship based on patience, trust and kindness – one person, one dog and one family at a time.
We put this into practice by providing the training aids and skills needed to effectively help people communicate with their dog. We empower owners to teach their dog how to be obedient with understanding rather than blindly following. We inspire owners to help their dog learn and think about what we want rather than by just telling them what we want. We show owners how to incorporate fun into everyday training sessions so training can fit seamlessly into their daily life; making training a game rather than a chore.
Using these combined techniques we enable our dog to make better, smarter choices which in turn makes for a happier owner. Using only people-friendly and dog-friendly training methods (no yelling, screaming, pulling, jerking or hitting with a newspaper directed towards human or canines) just good old reinforcement for both. Teaching owners to have fun while getting the results wanted is our ultimate goal!
"Obedience without understanding is blindness."
~Anne Sullivan "The Miracle Worker"
