Guiding principles
Let them lead
The learner leads the way. Your dog decides what works for best for them and we support them by following their lead and giving them freedom and choice.
The learner is never the problem
Instead of blaming the learner, we reassess and look for communication breakdowns and alternative approaches.
Training should be fun!
Training should be an enjoyable process for both you and your dog. Training should not be forceful, coercive, or aversive.
Encourage curiosity
Through errorless learning, the learner is encouraged to be curious and try new things without fear of correction or punishment.
Stay flexible and open-minded
Training is approached with flexibility, allowing for adaptation and redirection as we encounter challenges and changes.
Keep it simple
Training goals and instructions are broken down into small, manageable steps to support success and comprehensive learning.
Set realistic expectations
Both you and your dog are unique individuals. Successful training recognizes and supports limitations, preferences, and personalities.
