The process of socializing dogs in urban environments, can be challenging, on top of all the other logistics of moving to an area with rules, regulations, limited green space.

Although the instruction is not live, we anticipate the most common concerns, provide examples, and suggestions on how you can take the framework provided and customize it yourself to meet your dog's specific concerns. This allows us to keep the cost of the program very accessible.

Is this style of training R+, force-free, or balanced?

There is no specific style of training that is pushed in our course(s). We provide a framework that is flexible to the dog owner. This is because what works on one dog will not work on another. We provide many examples on how situations can be handled as a reference. No matter what school of training you used to teach your dog to "sit", you will gain insights that enhance your existing understanding of communicating with your own dog.
