Dog Training Contract Overview
A dog training contract should involve all parties in the dog training, including the owner and trainer. It should outline expectations, timeline, fees, rules, liability coverage, retention policies, dispute procedures, and termination clauses. This provides clarity on what is expected from everyone to ensure successful outcomes.

Force-Free Dog Training
Force-free dog training is teaching an animal without pain, intimidation, threats, force, or coercion. It builds a strong bond with a foundation of trust between you and your dog.
Moving Past Dominance
Fortunately for dogs, modern behavioral science has moved past the simplistic notion that a dog owner’s absolute dominance will solve all behavior or training issues. Today’s positive trainers recognize the importance of the relationship between dogs and their owners, and realize that while force-based methods can effectively train dogs, they also risk damaging the relationship between a dog and its owner, sometimes beyond repair.
