Our approach centers around creating a nurturing environment that fosters trust and strengthens the bond between you and your dog. Unlike certain training methodologies, we abstain from utilizing any form of shock, pinch, or tools designed to apply discomfort, as we recognize that suppressing a dog’s instincts can lead to long-term issues.
