I want to use this forum to discuss dog training. I am not expecting to change every competing opinion, but, at a minimum, want people to be exposed to thoughts by someone who lives the life of a professional dog trainer.
One of the reasons for starting this dialogue is to react to issues and points of view that I encounter on a daily basis. While I would never pretend to know everything, my opinions and views are based on training thousands of dogs and tens of thousands of interactions as well as my formal training and continued reading and research.
My main philosophies center on the concepts that dogs are thinking, feeling, wonderful animals that are a part of human's lives and it is our responsibility to treat them with respect and provide them with the best chance to be well-adjusted members of our lives.
This blog is intended for anyone to share ideas about dog training. Dog training is a fluid topic and you might be able to benefit by sharing ideas and reading thoughts that I have. I want to express my ideas on topics that I hear about every day such as "dominance" or "stubborn dogs". Your posts will require approval before posting. Thanks for stopping by!
