K9 Enrichment and Training Specialties

Introduction: I offer force free, positive reinforcement only dog training and enrichment plans all for the cost for me to post this advertisement, $12! I offer the training for free but I need to be able to cover the cost for me to talk to you, my apologies. What do I offer? Currently I am offering free private lessons in basic obedience and enrichment plans for your dog. I have experience in training a wide variety of breeds from the very large to the tiny pocket sized pups of all ages. Beyond the experience I have with my own fur family, I have experience with shelter dogs and with training Federal Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) Live Find Canines. So why am I offering my talents for just the cost of using thumbtack (about $15)? Beyond my full-time job, I am so passionate about force free, positive reinforcement dog training that I decided to go back to school again. In addition to my bachelor's and master's degrees, I applied to and was accepted into the "Harvard University" of dog training. The Academy for Dog Trainers (academyfordogtrainers.com) is regarded by animal training professionals as the best dog training education available in the world. My education requires students to interact with as many dogs as possible. In an effort to reach as many dogs and their pet parents as possible I am offering my services for free. Dog training, in its current state, is like the wild west. There are no regulations on what qualifies someone to be a dog trainer. That being said, when I complete my education I will have several certifications behind my name and be trained to handle any behavior problem. However, at this time because I am still evolving through my education I feel it is only fair that I offer basic obedience and enrichment. If there are problems that are beyond my current scope of practice I will be happy to refer you to someone in our network of dog trainers at the Academy. So what is force free positive reinforcement training and does it work? In force free positive reinforcement training we do not use things like choke, prong, shock collars or anything that the dog finds aversive. Does this really work? YES! The scientific research definitively confirms that force free positive reinforcement training works better than "balance" or correction based training with no side effects. Positive reinforcement training also strengthens the bond between dog and owner. Please let me show you how being a "cookie pusher" can help you and your dog today! I prefer to have face to face consults but I am happy to speak with you over the phone too! Background check is available upon request.
