TalktheDog

Introduction: I am an ABC (Animal Behavioral College) certified dog trainer. My method is reward-based training only, in the style of Victoria Stilwell (It's Me or the Dog). My work is done with the client and their pet in the clients' home. I've been a dog owner for many years now, and I have learned that we can correct what we humans see as bad behavior; it is just a matter of teaching dogs how to live in a human world. Their behavior is just doggie behavior. It's my job to show you how you can help them not to do those doggie things that we as humans find annoying, i.e.: jumping on people, furniture, nipping etc. I can show you how to have the kind of dog we all dream of- the dog who lies at your feet who is eager to please that just enjoys hangin' with you. I can show you things about your dog that you probably have never thought of as being anything other than "rude" ie looking away when being called by name,sniffing another dog's backside etc. It's all about communication and understanding at both ends of the leash.
