Canine Consultant
As a canine consultant, my qualifications allow me to help
you and your family find the perfect canine companion. Whether
you prefer to purchase from a breeder or adopt from rescue,
private home or shelter, let me assist you through the entire
process, including complete training packages.
Dog/Owner -Training/Educating
My philosophy towards dog/owner training is consistent
with the Hippocratic Oath:
First Do No Harm.
"The higher your structure is to be the deeper must
be its foundation." -St. Augustine
I can help you to understand your dog's point of view. Motivational
and positive training strategies help you and your dog to
have a complete understanding of one another, thereby leading
to a fulfilling relationship.
Earning the endorsement of N.A.D.O.I. (National Association
of Dog Obedience Instructors) along with my membership to
A.P.D.T. (Association of Pet Dog Trainers) illustrates my
ongoing commitment towards educating dogs, their owners and
myself. My experience in training group classes has taught
me to be diverse in approach and creative with methodology.
I have learned the importance of teamwork, along with how
to instruct proper social development between you and your
dog. Group training is a critical tool in the training process.
Private instruction allows me the individualized attention
I so desire to have with you and your dog. It affords me
the luxury to first discuss and question the relationship
with you and your dog. I will listen, watch and observe you
and your dogs' responses to one another. Once the evaluation
is complete, then a training program based on the strengths
and weaknesses of your relationship (along with future goals)
can be established.
I specialize in helping owners and dogs deal with behavioral
issues. I feel passionately that most behavioral problems
can be successfully addressed. Understanding why your dog
behaves in a particular way is a necessary first step in
designing an appropriate solution. Too often, I find people
trying to correct the problem by misusing a "device" rather
than determining the root cause of the behavioral issue.
After a satisfactory consultation (in conjunction with proper
temperament testing), a training program specifically designed
for you and your dog will be delivered.
Having twenty years of experience as an Animal Health Technician
has given me a wealth of knowledge in animal health care.
There is a good possibility that nutrition, care, maintenance,
or medical issues may well be the root cause of a behavioral
issue.
Membership in these clubs has blessed me with the opportunity
to work with a large group of experienced dog professionals:
The Lackawanna Kennel Club, National Association of Dog Obedience
Instructors, Therapy Dog International, American Border Collie
Association and Northeast Border Collie Association and APDT.
