What methods do you use in your training?

Our training methods are based on positive reinforcement, which means we focus on rewarding desired behavior rather than punishing "bad" behavior. This approach is not only humane but also highly effective, as it encourages dogs to repeat behaviors that are positively reinforced. We use a compination of treats, praise, and play to motivate your dog and create a positive learning environment. Our goal is to build trust and strengthen the bond between you and your dog through gentle, effective training techniques.
