Positive Reinforcement & Balanced Training

At K9MT, we prioritize positive reinforcement and fade out treats quickly. We teach basic obedience commands like sit, down, and stay with treats, then transition to a release word as the reward. Many behaviors like loose leash walking and waiting at doors have built-in rewards, so treats aren't necessary.

We minimize treat reliance and never use shock or prong collars, as these can trigger aggression. Our focus is on positive methods that build trust and create a happy, well-behaved dog.
