The Balanced Way Means Using a Variety of Effective Training Techniques Developed Over Fifty Years
My father Arthur Haggerty, known as Captain Haggerty, was described as the person who legitimized dog training as a career. At one point he was the most famous dog trainer in the United States. I grew up working with him.
I watched as he honed his techniques and developed new ways to convince and coax dogs to do what they are asked. His techniques come from an acute understanding of how dogs react, what a dog is thinking, and how to break down the lessons into small, smart and effective exercises dogs can understand.
His methods have been widely adopted. I’ve taken his vast knowledge and wide range of techniques and expanded on them in the same way he was constantly improving them himself. The ones we use today have been developed and refined over the past 50 years, which is why they are so effective.
We call our method the balanced way because it doesn’t limit its techniques to one school of thought. We tell the dog what he or she is doing well as well as what they are doing wrong. Some trainers don’t discipline. They say you can simply ignore bad behavior. However we’ve found that this leads to badly trained dogs or owners giving up on the training because it seems endless and going nowhere.
