Why force-free dog training, and what is it?

Force-free training is teaching a dog what to do using positive reinforcement rather than punishment. It:

  • takes into account how dogs learn best 
  • is more effective, safe, and humane than other methods
  • intrinsically motivates dogs to work (because they enjoy it!) 
  • establishes mutual trust, strengthening your bond 
  • encourages dogs to use their amazing brains to problem solve 
  • does not cause pain or fear 
  •  works for all dogs, all ages, all behaviour problems. Not just great for puppies or friendly dogs.
