I use positive reinforcement dog training because it's a proven, effective, and humane way to train your dog. My approach is rooted in reward-based and fear-free dog training methods—not just because they "feel nice," but because years of research have shown they are the safest and most reliable way to get results. Correction-based methods like shock collars may work, but they often come with unnecessary risks and can lead to unwanted behavioral side effects. You don’t need to cause pain to train your dog to any level.​

Don’t just take my word for it—the leading organizations in the field, including the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior (AVSAB), the Society of Veterinary Behavior Technicians (SVBT), the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT), and more, all advocate for positive reinforcement training.
