Dog training in Elk, Washington

I have been raising dogs since I was a little boy & over the last years 50+ years, have developed the gift of being able to understand them, their body language, and in essence, the ability to communicate with them on some level. After I retired, I decided to put my "gifts" and abilities to formal use and after a year of studies and exams with Animal Behavior College, I became a certified dog trainer. Using non-aversive positive reinforcement, I teach dogs basic behaviors such as sit, stay, come, down, etc. and help dogs with undesirable behaviors learn alternate more rewarding acceptable behaviors. In addition, my specialty is working with fearful dogs and dogs with aggression issues, with numerous hours of experience in doing so.
