Adult Dog Training
Having the right training tools to communicate with your dog is important to keep him/her safe, happy, and YOU stress-free. You owe it to your dog in order to enjoy their companionship to the fullest. Force Free-Positive Reinforcement training methods provide you with effective training tools that are easy to replicate and fold into your everyday communication with your dogs.
As they mature, additional professional dog training reinforcement and fine-tuning are needed to prevent dogs from jumping, promote loose leash walking, and recall skills. These lifelong tools will enhance the relationship you have with your dog. We teach you how to incorporate them into your daily life continuously. Learn more here.
