A: We use positive reinforcement training methods, using a marker signal to define behavior. This scientifically proven approach is derived from dolphin training. This method is user friendly, fun, and bond building between dog and owner.

We do not use force training methods or old school equipment like choke chains, prong collars, or e-collars/citronella.

A: We provide behavior assessment for ESA (emotional support animals) candidates. We can also help lay the foundation for therapy dogs, through extensive command training and desensitization.
