Mutts Gone Nuts Mission & Assurances: Our show's dogs were adopted from animal shelters or from rescue groups. We use all positive, reward-based training methods, which means: We reward and reinforce the behaviors that we want (with treats, toys, praise) and we ignore the behaviors we don't want. We look for what our dogs like to do naturally, and cultivate those talents.
