Question and answer
Q. Describe the most common types of jobs you do for your clients.
A. I most commonly work with people who's dog is exhibiting problem behaviors. I also often get hired by people who have gotten a new dog, to help them start out right and avoid common behavior problems.
Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A. The most important thing to consider when hiring a dog trainer is: 1) the type of training techniques they use. Always look for a trainer who will utilize sound, modern methods based in the science of learning theory. 2) make sure the trainer has ample experience dealing with the type of training you are looking for. This is especially important if you are trying to work on a problem behavior. 3) Do not get locked into long term contracts when hiring a trainer. You may work with someone for a while and decide they just aren't the right trainer for you.
Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?
A. I have 30 years of experience working professionally with dogs. I am a professional member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers and a Certified Professional Dog Trainer.
Q. What do you like most about your job?
A. Helping people to have easier and trouble free relationships with their best friends (their dogs) is the best thing about my job.
Q. What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A. People commonly ask me how long it will take to train their dog. I tell them that the amount of time they will work with me in dependent upon their specific training goals, their ability to stick with and follow the protocols I develop for them, and the severity of their training problem. Having said that, even after they stop working with me, they will be working with their dogs for his entire life. Keeping a dog responding to cues and commands requires strategic reinforcement for the life of the dog.
