Dog training
75
Hi! I am a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KSA) with 17 years of experience in my field. I have managed behavior departments for two large open-intake shelters and have experience with a broad range of behavior issues ranging from basic manners to fear and aggression issues.
I use only force-free methods that do not rely on pain, fear, or coercion to get behavior. My approach relies on management for prevention of unwanted behaviors and teaching appropriate/replacement behaviors. I work hard to make sure dogs are setup to succeed and that it's easy for them to choose the behavior we want.
Compliance is the main reason dog training programs fail - owners don't follow through. I always strive to keep things simple for the humans in the equation and set you up for success as well.
