Rather than attempt to contain your dog with painful zaps, we use a unique gentle approach that has produced outstanding results. Our training method is so effective that owners need to spend only 5-10 minutes, three times a day, during the five-day training phase, to teach pets their new boundaries. Dogs love the training because it is painless, fun, upbeat, and comes with lots of tasty treats!

Using these mild tickles, we will be teaching your dog to back up from the flags. You may notice your dog slightly cocking his head to the side, perking his ears up, or scratching his neck, but what you won’t see is yelping or crying – most dogs show no sign of discomfort or stress, and many actually enjoy the training. Your dog will soon learn how to back up on his own.

There’s no guesswork, and no timetable. Your dog will be telling us what level they need and when they need that level. Dogs are like people, every dog is different. We will progress at the dog’s pace. That being said, most dogs are trained to the fence in less than 2 weeks. Contact us today to learn more about our GentleSteps™ training.
