Greetings! Courtney and Austin Rose, professional dog trainers in the Bristol, VA/TN area, employ rewards-based methods. They utilize scientific understanding to comprehend canine behavior in today’s world.
Their training approach avoids force, intimidation, pain, threats, or coercion. They refrain from using aversive tools such as prong collars, e-collars, citronella, leash corrections, etc. Instead, they employ a force-free methodology.
The Roses believe in preserving dogs’ natural states of mind and behavior. They view dogs as partners with their own thoughts, feelings, and desires, and thus advocate for training methods that respect this truth. They reject the notion of ‘bad dogs,’ instead recognizing that some dogs need guidance to adapt to life at home and in society.
Committed to industry standards, they continuously strive to improve with each client. Transparency and honesty are essential when discussing behavior modification tailored to individual client needs. The Roses are dedicated to ongoing learning and ethical adjustments to their methods based on reliable industry information.
