About Trainer Richard Allen ( Certified Canine Behaviorist )CPDT-KA, AKC CGC Evaluator

Rich started working with dogs many years ago, in the days when dominance theory prevailed and using fear, force, intimidation and painful punishment was the supposedly the only way it could be done. He worked in many different avenues from obedience to protection training, but for him it was always to stressfu

l (for both the handler and the dog) to be waiting for the dog to make a “mistake” so the human could “correct” it. After years of using prong and shock collars, Rich wanted a better way to communicate with his furry family members so he began learning more modern and scientific ways to communicate with his canine companions, when he noticed he and his dogs enjoyed the time together much more, and he was very impressed with the speed at which the dogs learned and retained the teachings.

Today Rich did a little talk with the drivers at UPS Henrietta/Fairport team. They emailed and asked for some info on how to keep drivers safe from approaching dogs, body language.

From Safety Manager: I wanted to send a big thank you!!! The driver and management really enjoyed you sharing your knowledge with them. It’s not very often that the drivers are that engaged.
