Pets that are trained through the primary use of positive reinforcement tend to have a stronger bond with their owners.  In a recent publication by the “Guide to Humane Dog Training,” the AHA promotes positive reinforcement techniques and states:

 “By focusing on a dog’s pleasure as a motivation for obeying, you build a far more reliable response than with fear — with the added bonus of your dog learning to trust you.  And trust leads to greater willingness on your dog’s part to offer new behaviors, making training easier for both of you.  Trust also builds the foundation for a stronger, life-long bond of affection and respect between you and your canine family member.”  

With methods such as our “lure-and-reward”,  you can build a pleasant, harmonious relationship.  You will learn how to do away with behaviors you do not want in your pet while encouraging the ones you do. What does this mean in “real life” terms? Your canine will be able to do the following after completing one of our private programs:

• Take a carefree walk with your dog without pulling or lunging
• Have your dog sit for you while you carry groceries into the house
• Have your dog lie down and stay while you and your family eat dinner
• Ask your dog to “leave it” when he’s playing with your favorite socks
• Greet visitors to your home calmly without jumping up and creating havoc
• Have your dog come back to you when you call him with just one command every time
