Should you use food and toys in training?
Yes, food, toys, play and other things your dog finds rewarding will jump-start learning and make training enjoyable for both the dog and handler.
What does it mean to be a positive reinforcement trainer?
That means that we do not use manipulation, intimidation, coercion, or pain in training. We do not use choke chains, pinch collars or shock collars.
