What training methods are used?

We are committed to scientifically sound, force-free training methods. SDC™ students learn how to apply clicker training and lure reward techniques to train service dog tasks. Additionally, we emphasize strategies to reduce dog’s stress and to ensure the dog’s needs are met. Service dogs do so much for their owners they deserve an excellent quality of life. Cooperative Paws LLC is a proud member of the No Shock Collar Coalition.

Cooperative Paws training philosophy is aligned with leading organizations like the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior and the Pet Professional Guild.
