NEWS!!! On the October 2, 2010 episode of Dogs 101 (Animal Planet) Shetland Sheepdogs were a
featured breed. My children were filmed for this episode. You can see my son, Connor, and little Foster as an Autistic spectrum child working with a dog and a few clips of his little sister.
If we do not give dogs what they need physically and mentally, then we open the door for trouble.
My goal is to find the best and most positive way to encourage you and your canine to learn together. Not all dogs will motivate for food, not all will motivate for play, but all dogs have a
motivator that, when used properly, means training can be fun, non-intimidating and a bonding moment. No dog needs a prong, choke, electric shock, etc., in order to learn. No breed needs
force or to be bullied in order to learn. How do I know this? Through my own growth the past 30 years and observation, experience and the drive to find better ways I realized how wrong I was so
long ago. Sadly, many trainers still hold to the old ways and refuse to evolve.
"I will give you the tools, you need to get them out of the box!"
