Safety for you and your dog is the number #1 priority when learning and practicing in our training classes.  We require proof of current vaccinations for your pet in all our classes.  We want you to learn exercises and methods of training using positive reinforcement.  Effective communication and teamwork are necessary as we offer you the opportunity to train your dog to be an enjoyable companion.

Basic Training Principles:

• Give only ONE command!
• Teach for correctness from the start (reliability is diminished if you ignore this principle and re-teaching costs more than just the time it takes).
• Practice in brief sessions several times in a day in a secure area. 
• Use consistent words and body language to communicate to your dog.
• Choose an "off-duty" or release word for your dog such as "free", "okay", "good job", atta boy (girl)".
• Reward correct or improved behavior and always do so before the release.
• End an exercise while your dog is experiencing success--refrain from excessive repetitions.
