What Training Tools Do You Use?
We do not limit ourselves to one particular training tool. We recognize that each dog is an individual and what works well with one dog may not work for another. We customize training tools to match your dog's needs. Using a wide variety of collars, harnesses, and leads ensures your dog always get the right training for the right behavior.
No matter what training tools we use, our method is always positive! We always reward dogs for choosing the correct behavior!

For Totally Pit Bull, martingale collars are required.
For Freedom, we introduce and use e-collars. After Freedom, you can continue to use e-collars in most of our other classes.
