Philosophy

At Empire K-9 we believe in a combination approach to dog training.

Unlike most trainers, we understand that no two dogs are the same. We understand that dogs have different learning abilities and thus require individualized motivators. By taking a combination approach to dog training and integrating various reinforcement techniques we can find what best trains the dog without sacrificing trust.

Using limited techniques or taking a “cookie cutter” approach to dog training will leave you with limited ability and disappointing results.

Instead, we use a variety of methods and training equipment combined with owner education to ensure success in training with lasting results.

Having the education and experience in the use of various training techniques and equipment allows us to modify a program to meet the challenges and needs of both dog and owner. This is crucial to success.

Through proper obedience training and owner education we can maintain balance within the home and prevent future problematic behaviors from occurring allowing you to enjoy life with your canine companion.
