If not, why do you feel that you are a competent dog trainer? | I've spent many years studying the science and art of dog behaviour and training. I've read, practised, attended seminars and practised some more. I am always learning and reflecting on what I know and do. I've achieved results with my own dogs and through helping others. I'm also a registered school teacher with strong knowledge and interest in how learning happens and how to teach people. | |

|
| 14. Is there anything else we should know about you and your dog training business? | Learning about dog training changed the way I parented my children and has opened the doors to ever widening interests. I want people to enjoy their dogs as much as I do mine and to become aware of and strengthen their own skills e.g. patience, consistency, problem solving etc. For more information, please check out my website and Facebook page. |
