Train Through Play

Training is fun. Engage your dog in games that build trust, encourage communication, and establish a respectful relationship.

Communicate from a foundation of trust and confidence to foster unconditional positive regard.

Shaping behavior using positive reinforcement, physical prevention, and clear communication.

CAUTION: Do not shame, punish, scare, or cause pain. Corrections should be rare, brief, and used only to interrupt dangerous behaviors. Prevention is always preferred to correction.

Laughing Dogs Davis Commitment to Stewardship of Nature

Dogs that chase wildlife are not safe off-leash. Our dogs remain under control, on the trail and do not range in sensitive habitats. Ground nesting and migratory birds are at the highest risk.
