Whether you choose Dog Gone Right or another facility, we do hope that you put in a few minutes to research How to Choose a Dog Trainer and remember . . . there is no licensing for dog trainers. The following are a few links from The American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior, Best Friends, The Humane Society, Rover and the Association of Professional Dog Trainers.

Here at Dog Gone Right, we love dogs and that’s why we use humane, positive, scientific proven training methods. Your dog will learn with a normal collar on. No remote controls to shock your dog. No prong collars. No other gadgets.Positive training also works by teaching your dog to “think!” He will think of what you want so that he gets the reward. Aversive methods cause your dog to fear you and your dog is always worried about when the next jerk of the collar or shock will come. We love dogs too much to do those things.
