Balanced Dog Training Methods
The system of dog training we use was put together by one of the top pet dog, sport dog, and protection dog trainers in the world, Michael Ellis. His innovative training system has changed the way many dog trainers around the country train dogs. It is a scientifically based system that combines many of the best aspects of the past with new developments in the world of pet dog training, sport training, police k9 training and service dog training techniques. Using the psychological philosophies of operant and classical conditioning (Pavlov’s theory), Michael developed a reward-based system that breaks down complicated exercises into much smaller parts.

Before we ever ask for anything from any dog, we build a relationship of mutual trust through positive reinforcement. With the use of food or toys, we prepare a dog to become engaged and eager to please. Our dog training system makes them WANT to obey us, which makes it very fun and easy to train them. Each training session really becomes playtime, full of games, food rewards and toy play for both the dog and trainer.
Once the dog fully understands what is expected on a specific command, we use fair and consistent corrections to prevent disobedient behaviors. In other words, the dog must know exactly why it is getting corrected so it can avoid that correction in the future. This correction must come only after we are 100% sure that the dog knows the command and is simply choosing to ignore it. The chain pet stores would love to make you believe that you can train your dog completely with just food and praise. Around 80% of our clients have already tried these methods and did not find the help that they needed and continued to look for a better solution. We believe that the balance between reward and discipline is crucial to make the most confident, stable and well-rounded dog possible. Watch our videos to see the disposition of dogs we have trained.
