I hope you find the following videos both educational and enjoyable. I currently live in Portland, Maine and have devoted my adult life to understanding humane dog training methods. I enjoy helping dog owners understand "why" their dog is responding a certain way which leads to specific skills we can teach their dog. While some dogs are passive in nature and try to avoid conflict, other dogs become activated in their responses. Activated dogs struggle to sit or down when in this state, let them be activated by leading them away to reduce their frustration.
After rescuing three territorial dogs with bite histories, I joined the Association of Pet Dog Trainers in 2008 to learn how to support my own beloved pets. I am currently a Certified Dog Behavior Consultant through the IAABC. A Certified CARAT Assessor, through the Clothier Animal Response Assessment Tool, a National Speaker and soon to be an Author!
