ABOUT ME
I have created this website in order to educate all those looking for a POSITIVE way to train their dog or change their bad behavior. I have 6 Certifications, APDT (Association of Pet Dog Trainers), IACP (International Association of Canine Professionals), ABS (Animal Behavior Society), IAABC (International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants), AABP (Association of Animal Behavior Professionals), ABMA (Animal Behavior Management Alliance), AKC CGC Evaluator (American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen), & I am an Animal Behavior College Mentor. I have mentored 13 A.B.C trainers. I brought the Puppy Socialization Class & the Adult Dog Socialization Class to PPA (Pawsitive Paws Academy) & mentored 2 of the owners & 1 of the trainers. I brought dog training as a fund raiser to Cedar Valley Humane Society in Mariion, IA. & mentored the class trainer. I also engineered the Growl Class I teach for aggressive dogs. I completed Kirkwood's Grooming program & I have a Certificate in Canine Nutrition. I have attended several Seminars by Ian Dunbar, Nicole Wilde, Pia Silvani, Grisha Stewart & Francoise (Sassie) Joiris.
My Dog Pack has accumulated 30 Titles in Flyball, Herding & Rally Obedience. They have competed in Agility & compete in Freestyle Dance. They have Canine Good Citizen & Therapy Dog Certificates. One of my dogs is a K9 Ambassador & goes with her group, headed by Obedience Judge Kathy Davidson, into schools & children facilities to teach Canine Safety & I trained one of my dogs that is a Certified PSD (Psychiatric Service Dog).
