How We Train Dogs

All classes are taught with positive reinforcement. There is no force used in teaching these classes. We teach your dog to work for you because it is fun, not because they are scared to do any thing else. I am a firm believer in teaching people and their canine friends to have fun with training. Dogs are not trying to take over the world or your life they just need some helpful guidance in the right direction. It is a big but wonderful responsibility owning a dog please take it seriously.
Ginger Alpine, CPDT-KA
