Gladys, Jozsef & Chandler
When I dropped Chandler off I thought if this doesn't work I don't know what else to do. After the first update from Scott, the difference was night and day. As the training went on it was amazing the progress that was made. The videos and pictures really help to ease any worry that you have for your dog. By the end, they were able to take Chandler downtown Hamilton which I never thought possible. When I went to pick Chandler up the training that Scott puts you through is informative and fun. Chandler was responsive right away, even after walking Chandler around my neighborhood Chandler was focused and listened to every command. I highly recommend to anyone that has a dog that pulls, jumps, or anything that is not wanted in your dog. Thank you so much we have a companion we can enjoy and bring happiness to both our lives.
Head Trainer: Scott Rawlings
Scott started training canines in the late 1980s with his CKC Registered German Shepherd Sargent Thunder Yalta Quest. He has since trained hundreds of dogs for family, friends, and clients in Alberta and Ontario. Over the years Scott has studied many of the top dog trainers in the world to learn their training techniques and protocols. In 2017, Scott went to the US and trained in the use of remote collars to train dogs to a high level of off-leash obedience. After years of working with dogs using a variety of industry-standard techniques, the safe use of
e-collars, supported by precision techniques was a complete game-changer. Scott has now
e-collar trained hundreds of dogs to Off-Leash reliability using techniques that help to balance
each dog and bring out their full potential.
With positive reinforcement and praise-based reward as the baseline for training, we incorporate proven and humane e-collar technology as the anchor tool to take dog training to new levels of
off-leash success for dogs and their owners.
