We use evidence-based practice methodology in solving dog behavior problems. Our training philosophy involves primarily positive We will show you how to control your dog's behavior in such a way that your dog willingly complies with your wishes. In other words, your dog behaves the way you want them to because he or she wants to. So, how do we do that? We use positive reinforcement techniques to reward behavior versus punishment to increase the likelihood that good behavior will continue over time. When the dog learns he or she has some control over when the reward (treats, toys, playtime) comes, he or she will be an active and willing student. This methodology is not only taught by Animal Behavior College (ABC), but supported with current evidence. While aversive-based methods are still practiced by many trainers, current literature demonstrates positive reinforcement methods are more effective at not only addressing general obedience but target behavior with fewer risks to dog welfare and human-dog relationships and are better for the dog's morale, welfare, and behavior response.
