What People Are Saying
What People Are Saying
"Cathy provided several tips to recognize 'threshold' signals so I know WHEN to counter potential negative responses with positive reinforcement - which is immediately after my puppy 'observes' their potential trigger. And by walking & working with [each of my dogs] independently, I'll create a stronger bond while working to improve or prevent each puppy's negative response." — Jennifer
"I learned so much, and the instructor truly cares.
— Jenny
