We encourage owners to use collars as the primary way to guide the dog. We believe that collars work more effectively than harnesses for translating the handler’s message to the dog. Proper use of any device around your dog’s neck should not cause damage to your loved one. Depending on the dog's temperament we'll help you find the fit collar. We preferably use Prong Collars, Herm Sprenger. This tool can be adjusted to all dog's size and temperaments. This creates a calm and relaxed experience for both the handler and the dog.

We understand that your time and money it's gold, therefore we make sure your commitment it's well invested with the best quality results. Unlike other training approaches, we don’t bribe the pet to behave. We set the example of turning difficult dogs into the dream dog everyone wants. We coach the owner how to lead their dog, we train the dog how to follow and be just a dog. While other training services focus on food conditioning, we set foot to quality real world results.
In our training program, it's systematically developed to create engagement, precision, and rewarding results. We will engage with your dog in a way that changes the pet’s state of mind and sees things more clearly. Once we have set a clear foundation with the pet, we will build precision on their obedience with the results that will be rewarding.
8. Do you guarantee your services?
We tend to aim for customer satisfaction but being that there are many variables involved in your dog's training: commitment, consistency, self-awareness, and follow-through, we can not guarantee results as it would be unprofessional.

This can only come true with the dedicated, and committed owners that believe in themselves and understands that we deliver effective opportunities for clarity and renewed sense of passion.
