Our mission

​CHOOSING THE RIGHT INSTRUCTOR


Probably the most important choice you will make in your dog's life is the choice of the instructor to help you train the dog. Improper methods can spoil a good dog-sometimes permanently! Since instructors do not have to be licensed, almost anyone can (and often does) get into the business. It is therefore, worthwhile to search for the best available trainer.


Ask questions!

Do you teach the dogs or the owners?

Even a mediocre instructor can make a dog perform for him, but that is not the point in taking your dog to class. The instructor should be able to show the handler how to train the dog.


Do you explain? 

Do you fully understand why certain things should be done and others not? You need to know the reasons behind certain methods because with your particular dog, the approach may need to be modified.


Are you Flexible?

Each dog and handler are different. Some may require a different approach to an exercise. Beware of the instructor who says, "Just do it my way".


Are you knowledgeable?

When you ask relevant questions do you get a satisfactory answer? Does he talk in circles around the answer and leave you confused or does he make sure you understand?
