I am Aaron. I created my training business to help others live better lives with their dogs. I Specializing in private 1 on 1 training sessions, dog behavior consultations, and teaching the owners to understand why their dogs do the things they do. This helps create a strong bond between the owner and dog.
I believe that no matter which way you want to train your dog the goal must be to open communication and to strengthen the bond. Opening communication allows the dog and you to get the most out of your relationship. My training is not centered around tools it centered around you and your dog. Tools are to help the communication process and until the process starts we don’t know what tools will aid in this process. I have honestly found with nearly 2 decade of training most just need a little guidance in the process and they are off and running. If you have ever attended an event where I am speaking on the subject of dog training you will hear me say most people are doing 95% of things correctly just 50% at the wrong time. A couple well timed adjustments and the human and dog are back on track.
