Remember that person in your life who was the ‘teacher’ you will always look back to with respect, understanding exactly how you learn. Your pet is no different. Dogs, like humans, learn best and easiest when the process is smooth, interesting, stress free, at your level and enjoyable. This is my method. Please see my web site.
Shelter dogs are not born, they’re created!Everything I do is created around that maxim, so that dog lovers learn how to care for, train and enrich the lives of their dogs.
I provide a Three step educational program for dog owners, rescue organizations and foster-pet homes to prevent undesirable behaviors from occurring; change the emotional state of fearful, anxious, aggressive dogs; and teach the dog the desirable behaviors.
