Who we are
We use positive reinforcement-based dog training methods and the least intrusive methods nurturing the bond with your companion animal. We don't us aversive stimulation (fear) positive punishment/negative reinforcement based methods. We find them unethical, inefficent, ineffective when working with your companion animal. These methods come with behavior risks like (fall out, flooding, shutting down) and deteriorate the human animal bond. We are also very passionate about pet-overpopulation and the plight of homeless dogs. Having extensive experience working with rescue animals, we know that the right training and behavior change program helps these animals find and keep their forever homes. We also strive to keep current companion animals in their current homes.
