Trainers
At Charlee Bear we believe that good training is the foundation for a good relationship between you and your dog. It helps develop a positive way of communicating wants and needs. Good training will help you create an environment in your home where you and your dog can be happy.
A good trainer, like a good vet or doctor is very important. We believe in positive reinforcement training - rewarding and encouraging positive behavior. We are starting to link to sites of trainers that use these positive reinforcement methods. We hope you will find these links helpful in learning more about trainers.
