Mission Statement and Training Philosophy:
Obedience training is the foundation of our relationship with dogs. I strive to build a rock solid foundation of Basic Obedience Training and to achieve the goal of a lifelong relationship for you and your dog. Each dog and each owner are individuals with different needs and personalities. People and dogs have strengths and weaknesses. I will teach you to build your leadership skills by exploiting your strengths and develop an awareness of weaknesses so that both can be used to your advantage. Dogs have an incredible ability to read and respond to human body language, tone of voice and state of mind.  The foundation that we build is based on commitment to the task, educated leadership, mutual understanding and respect. My training methods are based on positive reinforcement and calm assertiveness.
