Questions about this program
Balanced training uses both sides of communication. Rewards like food, toys and praise build the behavior you want, and clear, fair boundaries stop the behavior you don’t. Samantha’s approach is balanced and humane: it respects each dog’s individuality while setting clear expectations.
