I'm one of a handful of individuals with both CBCC and CPDT credentials. I employ force-free, reward-based, positive reinforcement methods. My specialities include body language, play, aggression and reactivity. Undesirable behavior issues are addressed by assessing causes, building positive associations, managing the environment, redirecting behaviors and other techniques.
