Dog Training has many faces but it should always be humane and friendly.

• Your dog’s physical health and emotional health must never be put at risk by whatever training strategies you use.

• This means that you need to be aware of the emotional needs of your dog as well as his physical abilities.

• Using methods which involve pain for your dog is never a good idea because they are harmful for your canine and teach him to be afraid of you. Inflicting pain during the training process causes your dog to become afraid of you. This may not be the way you want him to feel about you.
