A Note from Frank

There are many approaches to train dogs. My philosophy is simple, Be fair and respect the dog’s intelligence. Whichever way you teach a dog, make sure they are clear on what you are teaching them, be consistent with rules and follow through if they don’t comply. Correcting behavior problems must start with basic training.

We must have a line of communication with the dog, respect and control. This comes from training. Dogs learn by trial and error, repetition and consistency on our part. Dogs are extremely intelligent. We need to respect them, help them stay out of trouble, and stimulate them both mentally as well as physically through exercise and training.
