I have been training dogs and their owners since 1981. Most recently, I graduated from the of the Karen Pryor Academy, and was a charter member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers. I use positive reinforcement, exclusively, to train dogs.I pursue continuing education and professional development by attending several seminars per year and keep abreast of current trends and advances in the training field. I have earned the respect of and I am referred by several local Los Angeles veterinarians; William Carlsen, Brentwood Pet Clinic, and others who trust me to provide highly perceptive, effective, dog behavior advice to their clients.
