Why I became a dog trainer:

Love watching them learn an I am just in awe at them an how they want to learn an really they could kill you with those teeth an yet they don;t they love learning an i love teaching them. They are truly your best friend an there is nothing like having a well trained dog in your home with you. Its the best feeling ever.......

My favorite part of being a dog trainer:

once they understand you an your signals its amazing to have them at your side. You become a team a working team an there is no better feeling then that. they can count on you an you can count on them. It shows in there confidence that they have for you an you for them.

My #1 dog training tip:

patience it takes time to train a dog to understand you. In my years as a dog trainer an instructor the one thing i see is people giving up loosing patience. imagine you come to a country were you do not speak the lanquage an you say sit to the person an they hear you but they don't under stand you so you slap them . how many times will you take that slap in the face before you fight back. patience is key find a way to show them what you want an reward them for it, they deserve that as they are loyal an loveable to the end.
