Frequently Asked Questions

What is "balanced training"?
In balanced training, positive reinforcement and appropriate corrections are used in conjunction with one another to shape behavior for long term success. The key principle of balanced training is to maintain a fair and consistent approach to training, ensuring that dogs understand what is expected of them while feeling motivated to learn and cooperate. By providing clear communication, structure, and guidance, balanced training helps build trust, respect, and a strong bond between dogs and their owners.
