Owner Involvement in Training

A key aspect of our training philosophy is the active involvement of dog owners in the training process. We believe that successful training extends beyond our sessions and requires the commitment and participation of the owner. By involving you in the training, we ensure that you understand the techniques and principles behind the methods we use. This empowers you to reinforce positive behaviors consistently and effectively, even when our trainers are not present. Your active participation helps build a strong, trusting relationship with your dog and ensures that the training is both effective and sustainable.
