Approach

The site describes an attention-based system using a variety of training tools, centered on a customized remote electronic collar. The stimulation is presented as an adjustable 'tap' to gain attention rather than cause pain, with the goal of keeping the dog happy and relaxed.

Good to know

Owner and head trainer Lisa Pierce opened the franchise in January 2013 and cites a background in learning theory and search-and-rescue dog training. The business operates from 3910 Sawmill Run Blvd, Pittsburgh, with board-and-train through a partner facility in Brentwood.
