Our Members use a balanced approach to training.

Trainers believe in being able to apply all techniques based on individual needs. Balanced training embraces positive motivation, appropriate rewards and knowledgeable use of aversives and correction. It allows the flexibility of using both positive and negative reinforcements and balancing the two factors in such a way that will emphasise helping the dog learn and retain the required lessons.

Unlike other methods of training, the Balanced Method does not limit or stifle the trainer’s ability to apply a wide variety of techniques to suit both owner & dog.
