"In order to really enjoy a dog,
one doesn't merely try to train him to be semi-human.

The point of it is to open oneself
to the possibility of becoming partly a dog."
~ Edward Hoagland

What is our training philosophy?
This wonderful blog post by Deborah Flick says it all: "Alpha Dogma - goodbye to all that"
And a wonderful article by Dr. Patricia McConnell, PhD; "Down with Dominance!"



“When I’m training a dog I develop a relationship with that dog. He’s my buddy and I want to make training fun,” says Dr. Ian Dunbar. “Training a dog to me is on a par with learning to dance with my wife or teaching my son to ski. These are fun things we do together. If anyone even talks about dominating the dog or hurting him or fighting him or punishing him, don’t go there.”
