The trainer utilizes positive reinforcement techniques, including clicker training and food/toy treats. However, there is also an emphasis on teaching puppies and dogs about the consequences of misbehavior. Negative consequences are limited to simple collar corrections or time-outs, followed by a fresh start.
Training equipment includes leashes, slip collars, and/or prong collars. No fancy halters or head harnesses are used, as they are believed to potentially harm a dog's neck. This type of equipment was originally designed for use with horses, according to the trainer's perspective.
It is acknowledged that not all training programs work for every dog. The approach is to customize the training plan for each unique pet.
