“My dog, Archer, loves Raintown. In a safe and supportive environment, Archer learned essential basic training skills. All training methods are based on positive reinforcement and thoroughly explained to participants. I like that each lesson focused on learning one or two behaviours well rather than so many skills that participants are left wondering what they learned. The trainers at Raintown have a rich knowledge base and communicate this well. Demonstrations enhance understanding. I highly recommend Raintown, so does Archer.”
