Our goal in training is to teach your dog to trust us and when that’s done, to follow our voice command. In the ‘trust phase’ of training the dog learns that we are fair but firm. Your dog sees that we treat it with respect and expects respect in return. The dog learns above all that we are consistent and when we ask him or her to do something they must do it.
