It's Wag'N'Train's 27th anniversary today!
I officially got my business license on July 3, 1998 – though I had been working as a dog trainer at SF/SPCA for a few years before that, had been training dogs (and other animals) for years before that. I guess you could say it's my Cannivesary!
In the past year, I've added a series of videos on basic puppy questions for my clients to watch before we spend time tailoring advice for them, and of course published my book on dogs in the workplace, Office Buddies!
When I look back, I see that my training techniques and teaching skills have become more refined; I'm more comfortable facing challenging cases; and I'm getting ever-better outcomes. All while remaining committed to using positive reinforcement and non-aversive, intimidation-free, science-based, compassionate training methods for the dogs and dog-owners of Silicon Valley and beyond!
