The method, stated plainly

The business draws one of the clearest method lines on the page: "At The Canine Clubhaus, we ONLY use positive reinforcement. You will never see our Knoxville, TN dog trainers using shock or e-collars, aggression, or violence." The trainer, who introduces herself as Manuela, writes that the aim is "a calm, respectful, and connected relationship with your dog, without fear, force, or frustration", and that she works with dogs of all breeds, sizes and ages "and just as importantly, I work with you, the human holding the leash". The site states she has trained dogs across Germany, California, North Carolina, Mexico and East Tennessee.
