No Shock, Prong or Choke…. EVER!
Virtual Training and Behavior Consultation
Obedience and other types of dog training is a great foundation for mutual respect and trust building but there are no limits to what you can teach your dog if your dog is willing. Peak performance obedience, Tricks, useful skills (turn on the light, carry my purse, open a door etc.) are just the beginning.
Unwanted behavior modification, manners, desensitization and behavior management are also available.
Only force free techniques are used and positive reinforcement without painful or fear creating punishment. Punishment does not have to be painful or scary to be effective. Learn to not only help your dog to do the work and not you and do it happily. Learn to train your dog the way zoo animals are trained, through marker training. Check out lots of cool links to videos of Marker Trained animals, birds and fish, many zoo animals below!
