Our Methods

We utilize a variety of training methods and tools based on what we believe is best for you and your dog. We believe clear communication is essential toward building a successful and cooperative relationship between dog and human. We put a heavy emphasis on play, markers, and rewards. 

Some of the tools we use are: food and toy rewards, clickers, collars (buckle, prong, starmark, martingale), slip leashes, praise/affection, back clip harnesses, flexi leashes, crates, and e-collars.
