TRAINING PHILOSOPHY
Where Science and Compassion Meet
Dedicated to non-violent methods of training animals; free from force, fear, intimidation, reprimands and pain. I work to create an environment where relationship based training can thrive, with appropriate balance between challenge and success.
My goal to offer outstanding instruction and training is based on the latest research and cross species training methodologies. As a certified training partner with the Karen Pryor Academy, I am committed to high standards in conduct and training practices.
Clicker Training is a cross species, scientifically based, and ethically acceptable form of training. A natural way of learning that opens the doors of communication between species; it involves reinforcing what we find positive (strengthening the behavior) and ignoring the negative ( leading to extinction). Throughout the process, we create a learning environment that’s fun, effective and rewarding for both parties.
