We believe in educating our clients how to work with their dog and that dogs must follow a hierarchy with the owners as their master.
We believe in educating our clients how to work with their dog and that dogs must follow a hierarchy with the owners as their master.
Like Children, dogs should possess a foundation of understanding. This means they need to know how to deal with control, obedience, and privileges.
They need to respect others and learn to love and understand the family they share a home with. They also need to learn what is unacceptable and that there is a consequence for breaking the rules.
And finally, they need to be rewarded with kindness and love for being a wonderful pet.
Our philosophy towards training may appear strict, but the truth is- fairness, consistency, and kindness are what we demand.
Our approach is to establish a foundation, teach the owners, and follow up with support.
