Our Training Philosophy

 

Our training teaches your dog to be a good canine citizen in every day life. We make training fun, for you and your dog. Our methods are 100% humane, with no physical prompting in any way. We use treats and/or toys to lure and reward your dog, and in return, you get a motivated and willing partner that is eager to work with you. The end result is a dog who pays attention because he/she wants to, not because he/she has to.
 

We do not ever use scruff shaking, alpha rollover, choke chains or shock collars. Too many of dogs in our society end up in shelters, most often due to behavioural issues. Our goal is to work with you and your dog on these issues so that training offers the results you are looking for, thus requiring fewer dogs to live in a shelter, and more to live with the families they love.

 

We have found a huge need for owners to understand what their dog is trying to say, by learning to read body language. So often, problems arise in human-dog relationships because of the lack of ability to read this very important body language, referred to as calming signals. Our dogs are constantly reading our body language, and communicating with us using these calming signals. Identifying calming signals can be an invaluable tool to help understand our dogs. By learning these signals, you are equipped with the ability to know when your dog is stressed or confused, enabling you to keep stress at a minimum while training.
