Building Communication - Dog Trainer and Behaviorist - Mt Airy, MD
Member since Oct 2024
With over 35 years of experience, I am a certified professional dog trainer and a certified associate dog behavior consultant with the IAABC. My passion lies in assisting individuals in forming strong connections with their canine companions through teaching and helping humans learn to observe their dogs.
At GR8K9S, I prioritize force-free training methods rooted in positive reinforcement. These techniques aim to establish a solid bond and effective communication with dogs.
My primary objective is to educate dog owners on their pets' behavior and encourage using friendly and proactive teaching methods to foster a fulfilling relationship between dogs and their human counterparts.
