Question 2

What is Trust-Based Dog Training?

Accepted Answer

If your dog trusts that you have their best interests at heart, they’ll follow you anywhere.

That’s the foundation of our training philosophy.

Trust-based dog training is about showing your dog, consistently and clearly, that what you’re asking of them will make their life better.

You’re not just issuing commands.

You’re guiding them through the complex human world, helping them feel safe, successful, and fulfilled.

Once your dog sees this, cooperation doesn’t need to be forced, it’s offered freely.

This approach means we don’t use pinch collars, e-collars, or punishments.

Instead, we help you grow into the kind of leader who doesn’t need gadgets to "control" their dog.

Clear communication becomes your most powerful tool.

Connection becomes your baseline, even in times of struggle.

We stand by this approach because we’ve seen this transformation happen time and time again, with dogs and families from all walks of life.

Our dogs want to be in harmony with us, so let's help them get there.

Question 3

Do You Use Positive Reinforcement?

Accepted Answer

In our approach to dog training, we don't use punishment.

Rather we use gentle course corrections and positive reinforcements like treats, toys, play, & praise.

​We are always looking for the simplest and gentlest path to helping your dog understand their environment.
​
We also don't use e-collars or pinch collars (or clickers).

Instead, we aim to build your dog's vocabulary by labeling individual behaviors in order to build a large reservoir of communication tools with them.
