Dobie Detectives Training Academy offers a balance of positive and negative training methods to help boost your dog's confidence and focus in real life scenarios. Other dog trainers may boast they can train your dog using only positive methods but they are either not telling you the truth about their methods or you will quickly realize that your dog is not as reliable as you were hoping. A dog who has been trained with only positive methods will usually only comply when he wants, namely when the owner has something he wants or there is nothing else that has attracted his attention for the time being.
