-----***BALANCE & TRANSPARENCY***-----

Balance it's a tricky thing with a dog as a trainer. One thing that I have learned over the years is to be fair. We have to be fair when making corrections. In obedience it's pretty easy some are soft, some are eager to please, others are hard headed, and on some occasions not very bright. When we are teaching the basic foundation of retrieving and handling it's all a learning process. So basically during the obedience process we are training the dog to understand correction. We teach through various methods but corrections for us come with pressure. A dog fully needs to understand how to turn pressure off. Saying this it's our job to teach the dog what we are doing without the pressure. Correction's can be a form of pressure but that dog needs to know what it did wrong to be able to be given a correction. That's how a trainer knows if they are being fair! If the dog understands what it's supposed to do, pressure is what we use to correct that behavior. Transparency is what we owe our customers to see how we are doing all of this. The world is full of bad people. When you have your dog here at ODK we want full transparency. We invite all our clients to come see how this process works. I'm pretty sure all your good trainers are offering the same thing! Before you go to drop your dog off, go see how the trainer you are interested in works and see if it lines up with how you want your dog to learn!

Dr. Able has been doing this a long time. A graduate from Auburn ages ago. The importance of a vet that looks after our kennel is vital. Day to day activities make it almost impossible to get to a vet clinic with our dogs, he comes wherever we are doing physicals and wellness checks! Big love to the guy that makes sure are dogs are in good health.
