Theory and Training

The true art of animal education and development lies in the mind, heart, and soul of animal educators around the world. By this I mean the essence of good training comes not only from correct application of method and technique, but more importantly from within. A proficient animal trainer must empty his/her mind and become one with the trainee, and this in fact is our philosophy on dog training.       

Every animal is an individual so the correct style or method is dictated by that individual. Use of several types of reinforcement are customized to agree with that specific dog. We strive to shape each dog out of unwanted behaviors into new learned chosen behaviors. Imagine having the ability to make your dog compulsive about behaviors you desire.  Behaviors such as heeling, sitting, downing and coming to you when called. This is called stimulus control. You can stimulate your dog to do the right things and be crazy about it!

This control eliminates behavioral problems and establishes pack leader role.  Pack leader role in the wild is not a democracy. In fact,  it is established by physical force.  We can enforce this Pack Leader Role through obedience.

Our goal is to mold a happy, proud and obedient dog, and at the same time, create a happy, proud, and confident owner.

Origin of the Ultimate Dog

We as dog trainers all strive for the ultimate dog. But what is the ultimate dog?  The ultimate dog originates from  a trainers sound attitude, absolute dedication and  commitment, flawless patience, precise timing, correct method and technique, and a clear understanding of health and nutrition.  It is from this combination that the ultimate dog will be discovered.
