BALANCED APPROACH AND AN OPEN MINDED PERSPECTIVE
We believe in balanced training, which embraces positive motivation, appropriate rewards and knowledgeable use of aversives and corrections. No techniques are exclusive to any particular trainer or school of thought. Therefore, with a balanced approach and an open minded perspective, we are able to apply the most suitable techniques, all on an individual, as needed basis.

EXPERTISE AND ENTHUSIASM
We offer the knowledge and enthusiasm of an accredited dog obedience instructor who is continually upgrading his dog training skills as well as his education in learning theory. He chooses to be a dog trainer, works full-time, trains his dogs every day, practices with his mentor twice a week and think of all things doggy all the time!

QUALITY AND FLEXIBILITY
We offer dog owners a tailored programme by teaching them what they want. Lessons are mainly one-on-one. This ensures maximum personal attention from the instructor. Furthermore, fees are paid on a per lesson basis. Owners can decide how many lessons they want, based on the progress of the dog, their expectations and their needs. They are also free to choose the timing of the lesson and to reschedule the lessons to suit their convenience.

" Dogs learn about stimuli, they learn about associations, and they learn about contingencies. They can learn with positive consequences, they can learn with negative consequences, and they can learn with a combination of positive and negative consequences. How a dog learns BEST depends upon you and your personality, the dog and his personality, and what response you are attempting to teach. "
- Pamela J. Reid, Ph.D.
