My Methods

No breed needs a heavy hand. I am only interested in using modern techniques backed by science. That means:
  • I’m force-free, reward-based only (not strictly food but it is most common)
  • I teach the dog what I DO want them to do, not what I DON’T want
  • I take into account the dog’s natural needs and emotions
  • I often use a clicker
  • I break training down into small steps and move at the dog’s pace
  • It’s how I train my own dogs and how I train client dogs!
