We are an international company teaching Natural Canine Behavior Rehabilitation (TM). Because we do not use treats or clickers, your dog learns to practice positive behaviors "just because they are supposed to" - not just because you ask (i.e. using a command). We do not use any inhumane tools such as prong or shock collars, so our methods prevent (and can correct) aggression and other psychological issues that can be caused by these other training methods.
We offer a lifetime guarantee for your dog's training and offer free follow up visits for the lifetime of your pet, no matter where your pet travels.
Feel free to visit our website for more information, but the quickest way to contact is by direct email.
