"The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others."

 

My training philosophy is...

• Dogs are smart and can learn as long as we are patient and consistant.
• No dog is too old to not benefit from obedience training .
• Basic obedience training helps dogs with their impulse control and teaches them to focus on you.
• Through positive reinforcement and environmental controls, you too can have a well behaved dog
• Be sure your dog is well exercised to burn off excess energy. That includes cardio 2-3x's a week.
• Please do not buy puppies as gifts unless you recieve permission from the recipient!
• Research the dog you want for exercise requirements,grooming and if you have childen, family temperment!

I also believe....

• No dog needs physical punishment in order to learn. Punishment can actually do the reverse! It can stop learning! Yelling at your dog will just turn him off, like a teenager!
• Humans and their dogs can learn to communicate with each other.
• A well behaved dog improves the relationship between dog and owner and is more welcomed in more places...... like mother in law homes
