Backed by science.
Our behavior team uses training techniques that align with LIMA (least intrusive, minimally aversive) standards. These are not only proven to be the most humane, but they are also the most effective. When we take an evidence-based approach to our work, we are able to track our results and to have a clear way to measure our impact. That ripples out to everything that we do.
Click here to check out our behavior resource library. We have a database of practical information — on everything from litterbox issues to food guarding to inappropriate elimination to crate training.
We also have a list of trainers in the Houston area that we really like. You could check them out as well.

All of our trainers follow a “LIMA” (Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive) approach for training. That means we will never endorse the use of shock in training.
