About Gentle Persuasions Training

Gentle Persuasions Dog Training focuses on using proven methods used by animal behaviorists to gain the dogs trust and respect which results in dogs' obedience both on and off leash. We don't use fear to train dogs; dog's will not learn if they are afraid, but they will flourish in an environment of trust and respect. Using this "balanced" approach to dog training ensures the dog works for you because they WANT to, and not just because you have treats.


Please feel free to contact Sami Mann if you have any questions or would like to schedule your dog for a stay at "camp".
