Frequently asked questions.

What training methods do you use?

Positive reinforcement and fear-free techniques. Through my CPDT-KA ceritification, I must follow protocol when training by implimenting the least invasive and minimally aversive techniques as possible. Training plans will always vary from family to family, but my goal is to make sure training is as fun and comprehensive as possible for everyone involved.

I will not train using any corrective measures (forced positions, isolation, battery, or leash corrections).
