Training and Behavior Modification for the Family Pet
|
 |
| |
|
Your instructor, Julie Humiston, got a great education working with shelter dogs for several years, helping them with behavioral issues. She owned and operated a professional petsitting/dogwalking business and has a wealth of experience with many different dogs from toy poodles to St. Bernards and every All-American mutt in between! She trains (and occasionally shows) her own dogs in competitive obedience, rally, agility, tracking and herding. In addition, she has varied experience teaching humans of all ages and skill levels, so she knows how to work at the other end of the leash too!

Thank you again, Riley is a more behaved girl after coming to your class just two times.
-- Kim J.
Thank you for helping my humans understand me!
-- Piper (& Wayne K.)
Since your visit, I've been working with Vasco on improving his "come" . . . he has pulled himself away from a dead animal . . . he also came to me despite the attraction of a nearby small dog. When a very large black dog started barking . . . I was very pleased when Vasco stayed focused on me and allowed the dog to pass without incident.

. . .you saved us and our dog from our ignorance. He is doing so well, and I can see that we could have really turned him into a beast. He is improved in all areas that we have worked on.
Thanks very much.
