Our training method

balanced training

AK9TA practices the ethical use of aversive tools such as e-collars and pinch collars in order to bring out your dog’s full potential. Don’t be silly - we use rewards such as toys, treats, verbal/physical praise too! We wouldn’t have the success rate that we do if it wasn’t for properly rewarding your dog for good behavior.

what is balanced training?

To put it simply, balanced training teaches the dog by utilizing both reward based techniques (treats, toys, verbal praise, physical praise) and aversive corrections (leash pressure, e-collar stimulus). The dog learns that their behavior can result in either negative or positive experiences.
