Otherwise known as treat based training is a proven method to connect with your dog based off of their needs rather than relying on domineering, or “alpha” tactics used in other training methods. We will never use prong, choke, or E-collars on your dog, only methods that promote the behaviors we want to see in our four-legged companions. In other words there will NEVER be any physical discipline or depravation of resources while in our care. We’re here to be uplifting!
