From a dog's point of view, life would be grand if we'd just let 'em do what comes naturally. But most of us prefer canine behavior that's a bit more refined. We want a dog that comes when called, doesn't pull on the leash, sits quietly in the car, and won't leap in our face just to say hello. Is that too much to ask? Of course not. All dogs can learn new behaviors, as long as we take the time to teach them. And one of the best ways to teach dogs is through positive reinforcement ­ rewarding them for behavior we like with something they like. Used correctly, positive reinforcement can not only teach your dog to respond to obedience cues, it can also help solve problems related to fear, aggression and anxiety. It's a dog- and people-friendly way to train, and it works! Romp & 'Rastle relies on proven tools and techniques that teach you how to effectively communicate with your dog and elicit those behaviors that make living together more enjoyable. By assuming a leadership role based on trust and cooperation, not fear and intimidation, you truly can be your dog's best friend.
