There are so many theories and so much conflicting advice regarding the various ways to train our dogs – it’s hard to know who to trust and what to believe.

This is what I personally consider to be crucial, and always strive for when training my own dogs:

• To build a strong owner-dog relationship, based on trust and mutual respect.
• To have confidence in, and control of my dogs in any situation.
• Most importantly to have happy, outgoing dogs that are properly socialized.
• To work with my dogs natural drives and instincts.
• Absolutely no cruelty or harsh “old school” training techniques. I certainly don’t believe you have to “break a dogs spirit” in the training process.
