Our Method
Your dog loves you and will work- for
your praise. Whatever form it takes,
positive reinforcement is the key to our
training method. The effect of
punishment on any animal is to make him
hate or fear you. Besides the
emphasis on positive reinforcement, our
training technique stresses operant
conditioning. The truth about the
classes you will be attending is that they
are designed more to train you than your
pet. The classroom is a poor
environment to train the animal, with twin
distractions of people and other dogs to
take its mind off the work. However,
once you have been shown the proper method
of handling your pet, the real dog training
that follows will be on a one-to-one
basis.
