It’s A Dog’s World Mission Statement

Dog's World is a regional center where dog owners learn current, science-based* dog training with opportunities to engage in a variety of dog activities and sports. The emphasis is on having fun and building dedicated human-canine relationships.

*Bob Bailey Principles - clear criteria, accurate timing, appropriate rate of reinforcement, and proper selection of, delivery of, and placement of reinforcement.

This means we use positive reinforcement - clickers and verbal markers, as well as lots of treats! No pinch or prong collars are allowed on the premises, and harsh punishment and/or corrections are not tolerated.
