With new classes starting in a couple weeks it's never too late!!
Pinch, prong, choke, and electric collars have all begun to ban around the world after many veterinary behaviorists have come out with many studies showing the adverse effects on our dogs emotional and psychological well being and development. And that the positive reinforcement training with rewards and natural consequences is the training method to show the greatest outcome of lasting learning, balanced dogs, and better relationships.
Just because you started with adverse methods doesn't mean we can't make the switch together! Call, text or email today to learn more!! 🩵🐾

Check it out!! Something I have been working with veterinarians and other trains for decades now. Pain is serious for dogs and can be the cause that needs to be addressed, not just the symptoms of the behavior.

Our goal is to prevent, treat and effectively manage behavior problems in companion animals to enhanc

As the heat cranks up make sure to keep your pups safe. Make sure they have plenty of water and walk them during cooler times.
If you believe your dog has a heat stroke apply cool; NOT cold, water to their paw pads and belly but don't get them wet. And call your vet ASAP.
Stay safe!!! 🐾🌞🥵😎

Did you know this was a common myth?
Dogs do not need us to hold out our hands to meet. They can get smells of us from standing near so the hand reaching out can be seen as aggressive motion.
The best way to greet a nervous or shy dog is by not looking at them or speaking to them, but by standing sideways to them and allowing them to choose to meet us. This builds trust and can help the dog to relax.

Is a 1-on-1 session best for my pup?
🐾 Have a puppy or new dog but need a flexible schedule for training.
🐕Pup has some specific behaviors that need to be addressed
🦴Pups, or owners, that a bigger group setting may be overwhelming.

There are many reasons to do a 1-on-1 instead of a group class. If you're not sure what would be a better fit reach out for a consultation meeting to better determine the best path.
