Approach

Pupstart offers positive reinforcement training delivered with kindness to both ends of the leash and avoids electronic and prong collars. It teaches that dogs act out for reasons other than stubbornness or dominance, even when showing threatening or aggressive behavior. Puppy help covers sleep, potty training, biting, chewing, chasing and jumping, and free resources include Dog Training 101, potty training tips with a journal, and video tips.
