For me, dogs are loving beautiful animals that can bring people so much happiness. Dogs have their own process by which they learn which is completely different than our own. I will bridge the gap between you and your dog and teach you how to communicate. A clear distinction between ‘working mode and ‘free mode’ is a key part of communication and building a dog’s confidence in ‘learning mode’. This is the priority for a strong bond and maintaining a fun and loving relationship with your dog. Basic obedience and discipline helps provide the foundation for self-discipline. It is very important that good behavior is recognized, acknowledged, and appreciated. Positive reinforcement is one of the best ways to shape behavior.My technique is to help your dog become more self-confident and aware because it understands what behavior is requested or expected. My method is independent of breed, age, and personality. I will teach you how to use your body language and non-verbal skills to teach control, as well as how to observe and read your dog’s body language so there is communication and understanding in your home, your routine, and in every area of your life.When your dog knows his role in your pack, he is more inclined to be well behaved. When your dog is well behaved, you are more inclined to take him places. When your dog gets to go with you, he is happier and gets to practice being a ‘good dog’– to please you. Mastering these basic communication techniques will allow you and your dog more freedom to enjoy each other.
