Training Philosophy

In order to achieve success at any advanced level of off leash obedience, or to expect a dog to risk its life to save yours, a bond of mutual love and respect must exist between the dog and owner. To insure this, we insist that only positive, praising methods of humane, motivational obedience training are used.
