My goal is to help dog owners better understand their canine companions, and how to communicate with them better through positive re-enforcement training. I want to help educate owners on how their minds work based on the science of how dogs learn, understand what you want from them and how to communicate to them what you expect of them through positive re-enforcement training. Positive re-enforcement training is rewards based training. I will help you learn how to socialize your dog, exercise your dog, and train your dog for his/her and your best possible happiness as a companion dog with positive rewards based methods. I want to teach owners there is a kinder and gentler way to train dogs without the old fashion ways of the past with choke collars, prong collars and shock collars. A well trained dog is a happy and calm dog, an exercised dog is a well behaved dog, a mental stimulated dog is a happy dog which equals a happy owner!
