TRAINING PHILOSOPHY

 
The goal of Topline German Shepherd Dog Club’s training program is to provide owners/handlers with the knowledge and resources they need to effectively train their dog in a fun, firm and fair manner. Our program is not based on a one style fits all approach. Our experienced trainers will work with you to develop a training style that enhances your relationship with your dog while accomplishing your training goals. Whether you desire a well behaved family pet, a competition dog or both,. Our training programs are designed to provide you and your dog with a safe and positive environment where you can be successful.

Topline does not support or condone the use of cruel or unnecessarily harsh training techniques’ It is our position that the humaneness of equipment and training methods are dependent upon the skill and knowledge of the individual trainers .
