OBEDIENCE TRAINING reinforces the pecking order. We use the CRC (Command, Reprimand, Command) procedure of training along with praise and positive motivation.

Dogs have different types of temperaments (Dominant, Fearful, Hyperactive, or Lethargic).

An educated and experienced trainer can diagnose the dog's temperament and apply the proper training techniques during obedience training.

We want the dominant dog to know that the owner is the boss and this is reinforced. We want the fearful and submissive dogs to develop courage and confidence. All of this and more is accomplished through proper obedience training.
