This page is about having fun with your dog and building a strong, positive relationship while you help your dog learn the behaviours you want. It promotes an scientifically proven, effective and safe approach to training that will create a dog that enjoys lifelong learning.. I graduated with distinction from the Karen Pryor Training Academy, one of the top positive reinforcement based training programs. I am also a Gold Medal Certified Trick Dog Instructor, Certified Stunt Dog Judge and Barn Hunt Judge as well as a Canine Good Neighbour Evaluator. I am active in a variety of canine performance sports including conformation, agility, rally obedience, obedience, scent detection, barn hunt and trick training. Several of my dogs have been Therapy Dogs working with children and adults. In my professional (non dog related life), I have been first and foremost and educator - from preschool through post graduate levels. Through my dog classes, I am able to engage in both my passion for dogs and effective, positive dog training and my passion for teaching.
There are many different approaches to dog training from correction based, to dominance or alpha based to positive reinforcement based. While most methods will work, I choose positive reinforcement based training because this approach is safe, fun and effective with none of the potential negative fall out that may occur when dogs are trained using correction or dominance based techniques. Above all, training should foster a stronger bond between you and your dog. You should go home from a class thrilled with the brilliance of your dog and energized to keep working at home. You and your dog should find joy in the process as well as satisfaction in accomplishing training goals.
