ALPHA CANINE ACADEMY
Our Training Philosophy
The trainers of Alpha Canine Academy believe that the incredible intelligence and adaptability of dogs makes them ready and willing partners in learning. While each breed and mix of breeds brings with it specific talents and challenges, all dogs deserve thoughtful and humane leadership.
We employ positive reinforcement as our primary training tool and believe in using the least forceful methods possible even for modifying the most difficult behavior problems. The bond that is possible between a dog and owner should not be compromised by harsh or inconsistent training.
Alpha Canine Academy is dedicated to training that nurtures this bond and helps create a relationship based on trust and respect.
