As an Behaviorist I will teach you how to develop skills to effectively communicate with your dog in terms that they can understand. In doing so, you will have the ability to achieve these important goals that will enable you and your dog to live in harmony together:
- Stop unwanted behavior
Not everyone appreciates dogs, but everyone appreciates a well-mannered dog - Create an appropriate ranking system
Training a dog is a skill to be learned, practiced and perfected with you as a "pack leader" - Truly bond with your dog
A dog can be a blessing to our lives or they can be a nightmare. It is all up to you.
Over the last 20 years I have found the most efficient and effective way to achieve these goals is by working with each dog in a manner that is:
- Compatible to his/her personality (The technique must fit YOUR dog)
- Discerning to their sensitivity level (psychologically and physically)
- Suitable of the dogs history and age
My teaching approach for you, the dog owner, will be to enable you to get what you want out of your dog and for your dog to get what he/she needs from you by applying these important aspects to your training skills that will be a part of you and your dogs relationship for the rest of your lives together.
- Structure
- Follow-thru
- Assertion
- Consistency
All of which must be implemented with:
- Patience
- Kindness
- Understanding
- Compassion
I consistently reflect on the gift I have been given to be so fortunate to work with so many
wonderful people and their dogs. The experiences my journey has given me are invaluable. I am
always aware of the wonderful knowledge life shares with us and vow to never stop learning,
listening and observing.
I bring this heartfelt insight to my craft and I am dedicated to sharing it with you and your dog with the utmost respect and humanity.
