The trainers here are working boarding school dogs within close proximity to their own dogs who are all in off lead drop stay.

Deviating from the simplistic treat-reward based methods, we make use of the Pattern Learning Training Method and Canine Cognitive Tonal Conditioning to reshape undesirable behaviours with “good behaviour” skills.
