Behavior modification and Therapy-Dog preparation training, with trainer Cora Wittekind.

My training philosophy is, I do what works best for your dog! The methods that I use will vary depending on the dog I am working with. When working with an owner/dog combo, I like to evaluate them in their home environment and provide the owner with specific, custom tailored suggestions and methods that will best work for them and their dog. Owner education and participation is key to a successful training routine. I see each dog as an individual and don’t use the same approach to every situation. Every dog has different likes and dislikes, just like we do, so it’s important to understand what motivates YOUR dog.
