Our approach
We believe that a balance between correction and reward is the most effective way to achieve your goals for you and your dog. We focus on teaching the dog what the expectations are, and teaching you how to enforce those expectations. Dog training relies heavily on the handler learning how to effectively communication with the dog.
Dogs should be allowed as much liberty as they can responsibly handle. The greatest gift of training is that it increases the dog’s ability to handle liberty.
— Chad Mackin (Dog trainer)
