Positive Reinforcement, Chain Collar, Pinch Collar, Electronic Collar. Each dog learns differently. I believe in the use of a correction (chain - not choke) collar. If used properly, positive results can be achieved in a very short time. Although this is the most common method, all dogs do not respond to this type of training. When that is encountered, we modify the program to achieve the desired results. If a food reward is necessary, then it is used only to help the dog understand the lesson, and then it is removed. There isn't any one way to train a dog.

Each dog is assigned a partially covered outside run. The covers are arranged so the dog can choose sun or shade. Each run has access to separate housing, water and food. Runs measure 12 x 4 feet so the dog has adequate room for movement. All runs have concrete floors. All houses have wooden floors.

In addition to training sessions, each dog is allowed out of his run twice a day for 15 -20 minutes of play/running exercise during cleaning, feeding, and water changes. The exercise yard is attached to the kennel compound with an overall measurement of 200 x 75 feet. This in addition to the kennel which is located within a 100 x 75 compound. The kennel is situated on 5 1/2 acres of land and a 3/4 acre pond.

The kennel is located 100 feet outside of my bedroom window. There are three locked gates, exterior lighting, motion detectors and alarms provided for your pet's protection. The kennel is enclosed by a second exterior fence to prevent escapes. There is always someone here to provide care and maintenance for the dogs.

We have access to five (5) veterinarians and an emergency facility. You will be responsible for any debt which occurs for veterinary care due to illness or injury.

We will handle emergencies as if they were our own, and you will be promptly notified of the situation.
