b Happy Hound Pet Services /b
I have been working with dogs with behavior issues for over a decade. If you have a dog that is reactive and are tired of slipping behind parked cars on your walks I can help. If your dog is growling at strangers or even at you, I can help.
I hold the following certificates
Master Course in Dog Aggression
Defining Aggression: Views from Biology, Phsychology, and the Neurosciences
The Heritability of Aggression
I held the CPDT-KA certification for nearly a decade. I am a professional member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT), the Pet Professionals Guild, and a member of the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants.
I have been training dogs since 1997, promoting force-free, science based training methods, instructing group classes and providing private dog training. I have worked extensively with dogs with behavioral issues, including those suffering from anxiety, aggression and other stress related disorders. I have dedicated much of my free time to rehabilitating and re-homing shelter dogs with a number of rescue organizations.
I’m a bit of a science geek, so if you don’t want to hear the nitty-gritty about why we do what we do you’ll probably have to let me know, because I’m likely to explain it all to you. I love talking about it.
