Dog training is all about forming a solid relationship with your dog. Teach him what you want but also learn what he needs from you to live a happy life.

The primary goal at Ahimsa Dog Training is to give you, your dog's real trainer, the tools to build communication, mutual respect, and trust. Our trainers will show you how to understand your dog, how to teach your dog to understand you, and how to fit training into your busy schedule.

We chose the name Ahimsa because it means "compassion" and "non-violence." Nothing that we teach will harm your dog or the relationship you have with her. (And you always have veto power, if you feel any trainer is doing something that will harm your dog in any way). Our methods are based on the scientific principles of learning theory, although we are always willing to use other techniques, as long as they are both effective and humane. A study by University of Bristol's School of Veterinary Science found that dogs trained with punishment and yelling were twice as likely to show aggression to strangers and three times as likely to show aggression to their owners.
