CONVERSATION
BUILD MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING TO DEVELOP COOPERATIVE, WILLING, POLITE AND FRIENDLY DOGS.
OUR APPROACH TO DOG AND PUPPY TRAINING IS RELATIONSHIP BASED
We strive to meet the needs of both the human and the dog. You and your dog are unique and we take this into account when helping you develop a partnership with your canine friend.
We teach you the tools to communicate in small, easy to learn bits, and build on success while tranining your dog or puppy. You will know how to ask for - and get - the common skills that dogs and pups need to know. This is unique from formal obedience as we work to build in default behaviours.
The goal is a confident, cooperative, thinking dog. Your well trained dog or puppy will have more freedom to be out with you in the community and a joy to live with.
Effective and kind manners and life skills training for the pet dog and future sport dog.
