"Think less about training and more about decompression and enrichment."

Ho-Bo Care does not support the use of aversive methods of training (e.g., prong collars, shock collars, physical punishment, etc.) or any method that causes your pet anxiety and / or physical discomfort. Use of aversive or non-positive training inhibits learning and can result in undesired behaviors and increases risk of injury to animals and people interacting with animals. Beware of trainers who support dominance theory, Wolf-Pack theory, or balanced trainers.
