  • To train only using science based force free techniques. We do not allow the use of any equipment that may cause pain, fear or suffering to any dog. Eg Choke chains, slip leads, haltis, prong collars, shock collars, training collars.
  • We actively show dog owners how to train with kindness and without fear.
