Training Methods
Verge of Dawn Canine Training uses a Balanced training method that focuses on Education, Communication and Respect between the owner and their canine companion.
All classes except Foundations 1 use training collars, also known as slip or choke collars, and focus on using physical and verbal praise for the reward. The Puppy classes also use treats, toys and various other socialization/reward items as well.
Various tools can be used based on the individual needs of each dog but the most important "tool" in the "toolbox" remains, and must always be, the owner themselves. That is the secret to VDCT's methods; the personal tips, tricks and overall education of each owner in order for them to build a trusting relationship with their dog.
Honestly? The humans learn more than the dogs do!!

Welcome!
To where good behaviour is not a set of commands; it's a lifestyle.
