DOG TRAINING:
About Dog Training: I am a certified AKC Canine Good Citizen, Trick Dog, and Star Puppy trainer and evaluator. My training philosophy is balanced. I try to create a calm environment in which dogs and humans can communicate effectively, focusing on minimal correction and using a redirection to a desired behavior with positive reinforcement.
