Do you use E- Collars? or do E- Collar training?
-
Yes, While we know e collars are controversial we have found LOW LEVEL e- collar training very successful and vital when communicating with k9's. However, this does not mean this is the only we will train your dog. Many of our clients have to become advanced in the basics before E-collar training. If this is something you are uncomfortable with have no fear you will not be required to use this tool!

Whats your training methodology?
-
To be very honest, now a days saying you are a balanced trainer means you do HARD corrections...all the time or in general. so, although we believe in a place for correcting we mostly rely on guiding the dog enough for them to get to a better place psychologically in order to make good decisions. We feel being LEAST Intrusive Minimally aversive would best fit us, if we were to label. We focus heavily on relationship & clear communication between human and dog, in order for both parties to flourish in their training journey
