As a dog trainer, usually we have dogs that take us down the path of dog training because of behavior issues or we get dogs to help take us down the training path. Soka was my dog that I originally adopted because I wanted to be a trainer. I took her to an obedience class and they gave me a choke collar to put on her and we never went back. We went through Karen Pryor Academy together so we both could see there’s a better way to learn and train and communicate. We hiked together and went on all the adventures. She was always up for learning something new. She absolutely loved training and life. We lost Soka two months ago to heart failure. Although there’s a huge hole in our hearts (and our house), my mission will always be to share positive training with others in her honor.
