Utilizing equipment such as the Sensible Harness, Freedom Harness, Gentle Leader, leather 6' leash, long lead, clicker, and toys, their training philosophy centers on understanding fundamental behavior theories applicable to all animal learning.

PlayTrain serves Broward County, Florida, and focuses on reinforcing positive behaviors by ensuring that they are rewarding for the dog. Their modern training methods concentrate on reinforcing desirable behaviors, cultivating a dog's likelihood to repeat them. Undesirable behaviors are managed by prevention, redirection, and ignoring, ultimately making them unsuccessful for the dog.
Positive training techniques are emphasized, avoiding the use of punishment-based tools such as choke chains, prong collars, shock collars, or leash corrections. The result of this approach is a dog that obeys with enthusiasm, not fear.
