The K9 Resilience Way
In the dog training community there are two opposite ends of the spectrum, force free and compulsion based training. Balanced trainers fit somewhere in between. We started in the force free community and then moved into a more balanced mindset of training. Our mantra is to train the dog in front of you. No dog is the same, nor can they be trained the same. A good trainer will evaluate the dog in front of them and find what works best for that individual dog. Dogs are not cookie cutter and training should not be either.

We utilize Applied Behavioral Analysis, Operant Conditioning, the ABCs of Behavior and LIMA (Least intrusive Minimally Aversive) in our training, but we also use tools such a prongs, ecollars, and chain collars as necessary.
