We choose to bring a dog into our home. Therefore, we are obligated to teach in a manner which does no harm and is fair to the learner.

Organic~

Of change or development, gradual and natural rather than sudden or forced
The ability to adapt, learn, and evolve
Emergent behavior or emergent properties
Made up of many different parts which contribute to the way in which 
the whole structure works
Instrumental; acting as instruments of nature or of art to a certain destined
function or end.

Organic Dog Training~

"We choose to develop a lifelong relationship with our dogs by nourishing their ability to learn, adapt, and evolve. We encourage desired behavior through steady growth, as opposed to instant change, by relying upon feedback from the dog, which we recognize as a sentient being " ~ Chris Waggoner
