First, do no harm.

• Never, ever make an animal afraid of you.

Understanding the species changes everything.

• "Showing dominance" and physical or verbal intimidation are not needed to have a well-behaved dog
• A dog's physical, social and emotional needs must be met. Without that, training can't solve undesirable behavior.
• A dog can learn to "listen" to every family member

Training is done with a dog, not to a dog.

• Every client is able to and happy to carry out training plans
