Simply put, if it is not fun for your dog or your dog does not choose it then we are not doing it. This means no shock or prong collars or any other aversive tools. The best way for your dog to learn is in enjoyable short bursts where he or she has chosen to be an active participant. It should be fun for the owner too"
- Paul Lasky
"It is my true belief that dog ownership and training should be one of life's fun pleasures. I take great enjoyment from helping dog owners get to grips with training, and caring for, their canine family members. I am a force free, positive reinforcement and choice based dog trainer, which means I will work with you and your dog to find methods that are acceptable and fun for your dog.

Beware of dog trainers or behaviourists that tell you a dog is being dominant.
Dominance theory is an out dated, disproved
method which coincides with a "one size fits all" solution and dogs are handled harshly. This is unnecessary and does not create a stable learning environment.
