The training methods used by the members of the North Bay Humane Dog Trainer's Network are both people and dog friendly. We strongly feel that it is not necessary to use fear, pain or intimidation to train dogs. Positive reinforcement training is an effective way to produce lasting results, helping to build a wonderful relationship with our dog. We enjoy training dogs and want you to enjoy training your dog.
