What’s So Special About Training With Love & Electronics?

The 4C’s of dog training.

  • Compassion – understanding your dog’s responses to training feedback.
  • Clarity – learning how you can communicate more effectively.
  • Control – managing the environment to ensure training has the desired outcome.
  • Consistency – delivering timely and appropriate feedback.

Focusing on praise.

  • Praise is scientifically proven to be highest value reward for the majority of dogs.
  • Most people use praise ineffectively. Learn to use the most powerful positive reinforcement reward correctly.
  • Duane selects from many tools and rewards available to provide consistent and appropriate feedback.

Love & electronics.

  • Not just a “feel good” notion; training with love & electronics is a compassionate way of implementing proven humane training methods.
  • A practical way to train the way mother nature intended for your dog to learn.
  • Training with love & electronics is a balanced approach to training, not an all-positive, or all-reward based training.

Duane is an amazing trainer. He literally changed my dogs behavior overnight. He is absolutely amazing kind and carrying. My dogs have become a well mannered social pack that I can take to any location without fear of any bad behavior.

Duane got our unruly dogs in line and made walking them a pleasurable experience. I never thought my dog would ever stop pulling. He also got my maladjusted chocolate lab to socialize much better. Duane is the best!
