Training Methods

In accordance with the core values and code of ethics provided by the IAABC, I choose to train following the LIMA protocols of least invasive, minimally aversive methods. In simple terms, I do not train with choke, prong, or electronic devices. I do train with reinforcers like food and play. The majority of my "customers" are shelter dogs who may have already experienced and failed with aversive methods of training. Most of these dogs have no idea what is expected of them. Solid knowledge of canine behavior is critical if you truly want to understand and communicate with your pet.

I am here to bridge that gap for you.
