Training Methodology

Give the Dog a Ball believes that every dog is unique and requires careful consideration of training methods. We primarily use positive reinforcement training to help teach the dog what they should do. And we believe that mild, fair punishments can help tell the dog what NOT to do.

But most importantly we think dogs should be allowed to be dogs! We help people understand their dogs' needs. Teach them how to satisfy their dog. And strengthen the human-dog bond.
