The Dog Lady
I've been a dog trainer for 30 plus years. I have four grown kids - two boys, two girls and a husband who is twisted tightly around our dogs little paw. I have a strong sense in not only training dogs...but believe that sometimes different things work for different people. Some people change a little slower such as some need to be coaxed a little more gently when it comes to disciplining their dogs. I do not believe that being abbrasive changes people, I think being as understanding as possible as well as showing compassion is the way to bring positive changes that need to happen. I absolutely love this site, and believe that everyone can learn...there are many on this site who are not "dog trainers" but have some very compelling insights.
