Training Philosophy

My training philosophy includes:

• Positive Reinforcement 

• Environmental management

• Consistency

• Be a benevolent leader; kind, compassionate, and fair.  

I also believe:

• Patience is key

• Practice is mandatory

• Persistence pays off

• Praise often

My training methods include:

• Initially use food luring with low calorie, healthy treats

• Wean off food rewards asap with belly rubs, praise, toys and/or free play 

• Implement Leadership/Relationship exercises

• Use No Reward Markers

• Keep training Flexible, Fair, and Fun

Once you experience professional dog training, you will wonder why you waited until now. I look forward to working with you and your dog.
