There are a multitude of training styles, methods, and philosophies out there, all of which have their pros and cons. Our philosophy is simple. It takes a balanced technique to create a balanced dog. As in any relationship, good communication is essential! Your relationship with your dog is likewise hinged on your ability to understand your dog, and for your dog to understand you. By establishing an effective line of communication between ourselves and our dogs, we are able to change the conversations we have with them. The goal of our training is to create happy and confident dogs who know what we need from them and are happy to be part of an improved “working” relationship with their families.

We also believe that all dogs are designed to be productive and task-oriented, or, in other words, they need a “job” to feel balanced. By engaging our dogs mentally and teaching them to process information, perform desired behaviors, and use some impulse control, we are able to give them an incredibly valuable outlet to channel their energy into being productive.
