Dog Training by Bryony Aviles, KPA-CTP and Ellen Carson, Dog Trainer

Our approach is based on positive, scientifically-proven methods (known in short as "positive training" or "positive reinforcement training") to train your dog, reinforcing their successes rather than their failures. We believe that helping people and dogs learn to communicate better is key to enriching peoples' and canines' lives. An important part of all of the training done by Sandy Paws includes teaching dog body language and signals.
