Love Your Dog, Train Your Dog

Having a hard time with the "pack leader"
fad?  Feel like you have to choose between
loving your dog and training your dog? 
Don't worry!  The oldest way of training
dogs and the latest scientific studies
suggest that loving your dog and training
your dog are not mutually exclusive.

Learn how to separate the fads, fallacies
and facts in order to make better informed choices for you and your dog.  Through the use of lecture, handouts and live demos you will learn about...

*The short history of dog training

*Wolf pack theory, then and now

*Methods, tools and philosophies

*How to train your dog and love your dog at the same time!

Once you understand what the dog training market is offering you, it will be much easier to separate the true professionals from the snake oil salesman.  You'll also be better equipped to choose the professional who shares your personal philosophy on dog training and dog ownership.
