About Our Certification & Training Approach:
Our trainers are certified through the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers (CCPDT) and follow the Humane Hierarchy, a respected framework rooted in science and compassion. This approach ensures dogs are trained using the most effective, least intrusive methods available.
This method reflects our belief that great training is about understanding, respect, and teamwork—not force or fear. It’s a standard of care that ensures your dog is in good hands.
The Human Hierarchy
Here's the basics of how it works:
1. Health First
Before any training begins, dogs are assessed to rule out medical, nutritional, or environmental issues that could be affecting behavior.
2. Prevent Problems Before They Start
We manage the environment to reduce triggers and set dogs up for success.
3. Teach Through Positive Methods
Using rewards and positive associations, we encourage the behaviors we want to see.
4. Smart Problem Solving
If needed, we adjust strategies, manage behaviors, or consult with other pros—always keeping the dog’s welfare in mind.
5. Last Resort Measures
Techniques involving punishment are only considered after all other options are explored, and only if they are ethical, safe, and effective.
