Support your dog trainer by sharing your story

I have been teaching dogs and their people since the 90's, became a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA) in 2002. Became a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) in 2007. In 2010 was accepted and completed an Internship at the UC Davis Behavior Center. I continue to learn through conferences and workshops, so I may continue to provide the best and current information, techniques, and methods to my clients and their furry family members

More info about Connie Price's dog training:

Behavioral issue focus:

Fear, aggression, reactivity, destructive behavior (digging, chewing, etc.) potty training, handling issues, barking

Dog training methods:

Consultations for behavior and family needs, Positive Reinforcement (+R), Counter Conditioning & Desensitization, NO Choke, Prong, or Shock collars used-no squirt bottles, sound aversion (shake cans), etc. used. Helping your dog to feel safer and with no need to bark, growl, or bite. Building a relationship based on communication and trust

Why I became a dog trainer:

I took one of my dogs to a group class, and was invited to be an apprentice-it was more traditional type training-when one of my dogs became dog aggressive (because of those traditional methods I firmly believe) and everything I was told to do made it worse-after a traumatic event I was told to use a shock collar or to put him to sleep-neither which I was willing to do-found the book Don't Shoot the Dog by Karen Pryor and my life and the life of my dog was changed for the better and I have not looked back, and continue to educate myself to provide the best for my clients and the dogs in their lives (and the occasional cat).

My favorite part of being a dog trainer:

The dogs! Seeing them change, grow confident, and more relaxed. The smiles from the clients as things get better. This can help save and improve the dogs lives

My #1 dog training tip:

Be open to learning correct behavior, body language, and communication
