About Linda
I believe that through the proper use of positive rewards-based training the possibilities of things we can train our pets to do is limited only by our imagination. I have been a devoted animal lover my entire life. I use training methods based on proven science. These methods yield quick learning without the negative side effects often caused by harsher methods. I use rewards such as food, toys, praise and real life pleasures for your dog. I study behavior and training on an ongoing basis through seminars, workshops, certification courses, mentor-ships, books, articles, case studies, videos, professional affiliated educational offerings, and hands on experience. I work to make a positive difference in the lives of our best friends.
