We are reinforcement based trainers that encourage fun, laughter & compassion when training animals.
Our training methods are based in modern behavioral science. We follow the recommendations approved by the AVMA (American Veterinary Medicine Association & the AVSAB (American Veterinary Society of Animal Behaviorists).
We are Fear Free Trainers and our qualifications keep us up to date with the education of not only the mechanics of training but also the understanding of the “Why behavior happens”. We continue learning the ever expanding evidence regarding psychology, health, welfare, nutrition, neuroscience, bio-science, and husbandry of companion animals.
We believe transparency, honesty, integrity, and ethical animal training techniques are just a few of the most important aspects to helping families with the companions.
Our goals are to teach every member of the family to communicate effectively with their companions to help them create a mindful relationship based in compassion & respect.
