My training philosophy is...

• Positive Reinforcement of Alternate Behavior
• Management of the Problem and Setting the Dog Up To Succeed
• Consequences for the Inappropriate behavior
• Consistency  

I also believe....

• Treat the cause of a behavior, not just the symptom 
• Exercise is of utmost importance (a tired dog is a good dog). 
• Consequences should never frighten a dog 
• Owner must be commtted to training

My training methods include...

• Operant Training (rewards based)
• Negative punishement (removing the positive reinforcement)
• Management Techniques (physical stimulation - exercise, mental stimulation - interactive toys, adjusting the dogs environment - removing unacceptable objects from the dogs reach) 
• clicker training (marking a wanted action with a "clicker")

Once you experience professional dog training, you will wonder why you waited until now. I look forward to working with you and your dog.
