Our Approach

Our Training Philosophy

At Cross Our Paws Rescue, we advocate for positive reinforcement training. This method rewards good behavior rather than punishing unwanted behavior. It's scientifically proven to be more effective and helps build a trusting, healthy relationship with your dog.

We do NOT support aversive training methods, including shock collars, prong collars, choke chains, or any form of physical punishment. These methods can cause fear, anxiety, and aggression in dogs.
