I feel my experience with dogs and people would be a huge asset to any company. Furthermore, I've worked at an Animal Hospital/Boarding Facility for thirteen years, where I worked very closely with dogs and learned how to deal with them in a calm, patient, and nurturing manner. In addition, these dogs were in cages and on the vet's exam table; sometimes with the owner in an understandably bad stat
e of mind, coupled with the fact that the dog's state of mind wasn't in the best of spirits either. During these circumstances, I've learned to deal with the owners and their dogs calmly even though the dogs were in a confined environment. After my years at this animal hospital/boarding facility, I've decided to put that experience to good use. As a result, I went to the Academy of Canine Education and became a Dog Trainer. I graduated in 2005 and to this day, I've been training dogs and their owners. Furthermore, I've developed techniques to strengthen the dog and owner bond. I also have demonstration videos showing this and at the same time I often take a video of a client with his/her dog doing a routine training exercise. If they're not doing it correctly, I would not say anything but capture it and play it back. Thus they would see what they did wrong and learn from it. In addition, they would see what they did right and remember it. Lastly I used to have dogs and have photos of them. Sincerely,
Alex Himel
