I have been working with dogs for more than 30-years. I believe in continuing education and training for myself in order to keep up with the most current research on the health of canines, new and a variety of training techniques and the most current research on how canines learn. I enjoy working with handlers and families to teach them about not only how their canine learns, but also in creating a mutually respectful and positive relationship by teaching them how to clearly communicate, how to read their canines body language and how to best provide an interactive life for their canine partner.
