My training philosophy is...

•  A happy dog feels safe in his environment
• A dog feels safe when he's trained consistently 
• Remaining calm is essential when asking the same of your dog

I also believe....

• All dogs have the ability to become obedient
• Walking your dog is critical
• Proper feeding procedures enable you to earn your dog's respect
• Potty training takes 2-3 days
• Dogs want to please their owner, so if he's not 'doing it right' it is the person who must change the way he's communicating in order for his dog to be successful

My training methods include...

•  The 'Arm Swing' dog walk, where you walk as if there were no leash
• Rewarding (food/verbal and physical praise) quickly creates results 
• Insisting your dog allow you the right-of-way when passing through doorways or taking the stairs 
• A dog should never 'claim' your bed or sofa, but instead politely ask for your permission

Once you experience professional dog training, you will wonder why you waited until now.  I look forward to working with you and your dog.
