Twelve years of positive-reinforcement training
Training started as volunteer work at a county shelter, teaching basic manners to dogs waiting for adoption so they would have a better chance of staying in the next home. That work turned into a certification, and then into a full-time practice built entirely around reward-based methods.
Every program is taught by the same person, session to session, so a family is not re-explaining the dog's history to someone new halfway through a course.
Group sizes stay small and private consults happen at the dog's own home, because a dog that behaves well in a training room does not always behave well at its own front door.
