Training methods used
I only use positive reward based training methods that rewarding correct behaviour with praise, treats or toys rather than punishing a dog for misunderstanding what we've asked them to do!
Extensive research shows these methods are proven to be effective.
I use methods such as lure and reward, gentle modelling, targeting and shaping behaviours using a clicker. I do not condone the use of any aversive techniques such as hitting, harsh jerking on the lead, shouting or any forceful handling. Dogs learn much quicker without these actions and the relationship between handler and dog will be much stronger if positive reward based training is used.
