is a Washington corporation devoted to promoting the best in dog training, continuing education, and research in canine science.
Dogs don't behave "good" or "bad". Their behavior is a product of their unique genetic temperament and their learning history. In order to create long-lasting results, training must address the cause of a problem - not t
he symptoms. If you're looking for effective dog training in Seattle, give The Pawsitive Packleader a call. Our methods focus on teaching our clients how to build communication and trust through an advanced understanding of canine social structure and animal learning theory. Our certified dog trainers specialize in behavior therapy, advanced behavior, game skills, puppy training, anti-anxiety training, fitness, nutrition, and more! The Pawsitive Packleader breaks away from the misplaced emphasis on dominance and obedience and instead capitalizes on building relationships that don't involve bribery, intimidation, or battery. We give dog owners the tools necessary for a lifetime of success by teaching them the foundations of their dog's motivation as well as how to build a relationship of trust and leadership. With a strong background in animal learning theory and behavioral neuroscience, The Pawsitive Packleader advocates humane training methods that are backed by a century of scientific research. www.pawsitivepackleader.com
Society for the Promotion of Applied Research in Canine Science (SPARCS)
SPARCS was created as a platform where modern animal behavior science can be presented, discussed, and debated by the greatest minds in canine science. Our conference speakers will be contributing short but in-depth presentations pertaining to a daily theme. We will conclude each day with a panel discussion comprised of our speakers and invited experts that will discuss and debate questions from the audience. We believe that every person in the field of animal welfare has the right to continuing education and technology offers us the opportunity to bring the world together to enable that belief. Thus we will broadcast our annual conference online at no charge! As long as you have a computer, a tablet, or a smartphone, everyone will be able to watch our broadcast from anywhere in the world. Even though SPARCS is not a non-profit organization, it was created under the banner of give more – take less. Profits from SPARCS will fuel unrestricted research grants for graduate students and PhD candidates pursuing research in canine science. These individuals are the future of animal welfare and do not have access to the more conventional grants currently offered by many government and societal organizations. www.CanineScience.info
Packleader Photography - Companion photography is about the moments. Our companions are more than just our pets. They remain in our hearts for our lifetime. Founded by Prescott Breeden and Ally Davis, Packleader Photography is the melting of two minds with an incredible love for all animals. No companion is too big or too small for our eye. From hamsters to horses, we cherish the opportunity to immortalize your companion with our photography. Join us each December for our annual event “It’s Raining Dogs!” Last year we were able to donate over 1,200 pounds of premium dog food for dogs still searching for their forever home. If you are a shelter or rescue, contact us about using our photography and social media networks to help your dogs find new forever homes. www.packleaderphoto.com
