I use positive reinforcement to address behavior challenges and build a strong, lasting bond with your dog. While I once relied on aversive tools, I’ve seen how they harm trust and connection. I don’t judge those who use them, but I won’t allow intimidation or outdated "alpha theory" methods with my dogs or clients.
My goal is for your dog to choose you willingly and for your communication to be open, positive, and ongoing.
