We focus on innovative ways to strengthen the relationships between dogs and humans through education. The welfare of both must always be considered.
When we are not satisfied with the present, we will search the past. If we cannot find an answer, we will create a new way.
We teach those that seek to learn. Those that do not want to learn will be influenced by our example. We will be respectful and considerate to those that are less informed than us.
We are committed to making each new generation better than ourselves.

On-site conduct

No bashing rule - it is ok to post a video and ask a specific question as to how something may relate to FSDT or how it can be improved by incorporating FSDT, but it isn't ok to post a video for the sake of bashing .
