"Teaching what is right is almost always more effective than correcting whats wrong." - Patricia McConnell
|
Creatures Great and Small utilizes training techniques rooted in the principles of Progressive Reinforcement Training (PRT). Progressive Reinforcement Training is defined as, "teaching animals by rewarding desired behaviors and excluding the intentional use of physical or psychological intimidation"- Emily Larlham.

As dog trainers we believe it is our obligation to educate our clients on the most effective, progressive and humane techniques available. Our approach to training not only makes learning fun, but creates a thoughtful, mutually-rewarding relationship between dogs and their owners.
