They operate on their environment, get feedback and then repeat or change their behaviour depending on the outcome. To ensure you and your dog live the most productive, fun-filled and stress-free life together, be a positive, active part of that behaviour process. There is no dog too young or old, too wild or timid, too brave or shy to start learning from you, in fact they already are. I teach (and learn from) animals through the practical implementation of a combined knowledge of science based technologies - Learning Theory, mostly Applied Behaviour Analysis, Neurobiology, Ethology, and Physiology. All that, along with a deep understanding of the nature of dogs, means your dog gets the best possible positive and productive training or behaviour modification.

Dogs in Action - a book on working dogs and their stories. "Dogs in Action is a truly delightful and wonderful book — a must-read whether you live with a dog or not. All dogs are human companions, exercise partners, furry psychologists and couch snugglers but some dogs devote their lives to help people by performing an extraordinary array of tasks — guiding the blind, hearing for the deaf, search and rescue, biosecurity and cancer detection.
