Key Stone Handler Academy. 

She now teaches people how to train their own service dog.

If you asked 1000 dogs if they think they need "dog training" or not  what do you think they would say ?

I bet they wouldn’t even understand the question.

Training??? For what????  To be a dog ????

On this episode I want to bring to your attention  before you start barking orders to your dog, if you get your head in the right place then, your life with your  becomes a rewarding bounding experience for both you and your dog.

Stop having a confrontational battle where you human always have to win, but become “the trusted guide” for your dog to follow.

Doesn’t that sound much better to you?

Enjoy the episode.
