My training goal is to use Positive Reinforcement - rewarding good or desired behavior and not rewarding or acknowledging bad behavior. When using positive reinforcement dog training you can use treats, toys, physical affection, verbal praise or a combination of any of those, to reward your dog for correct behavior. I also use some of Cesar Millian's (The Dog Whisperer) techniques and practices when dealing with behavioral or pack issues. I also believe in teaching a dog to THINK making the correct choices and decisions.
For owners-I believe in responsible pet ownership and training your dog to become a Good Canine Citizen. Leash your dog and abide your local regulations regarding your pets.
Socializing your dog is very important,
