Dogs/Expert Profile

Expertise

I can answer training questions, both basic and advanced, and am familiar with almost all of the methods and tools used. I am not closed-minded and do not think that one method and one tool is the best/only way to train. I answer questions with consideration to both the owner`s and the dog`s needs and abilities. I am also very knowledgeable about canine nutrition.

Experience in the area

I have been training for more than five years, and studying canine nutrition for more than six years. I have taken three online veterinary assistant classes given by the local community college, and received final grades in the high 90's for all three.

What do you like about this subject?

I like the flexibility that training offers. There are so many different methods to choose from, and since each dog learns differently, having more than one option makes training much easier than in years past.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

My main goal is to advance my knowledge in the different methods of training, and how they can be applied to different dogs.
