My goal at Companion Canines is to help your dog become a happy, well-balanced and reliable companion. We offer a unique opportunity to find out what training methods work best along with giving you information to make you and your dog’s lives better. Scientific learning theories have proven canines to be a social- and community-driven animal, each with their own specific language. All of the training done with Companion Canines is built around positive reinforcement as well as non-physical punishment. Through mental and physical activity, the goal for your animal is to become a well-balanced family member. As a result, your dog will not be lonely or develop destructive behavior when left alone, and will be better behaved during human and social interactions. Dogs won’t always be perfect, but they certainly deserve to be happy! I’ve dedicated myself to training in a variety of instructional techniques to better meet the needs of each individual canine personality. I believe each situation requires a degree of skill and knowledge, but most of all compassion. It is my goal to share my compassion for animals with you so that the owner-dog relationship can be completely understood and thoroughly enjoyed. Dogs are truly a gift from God and I believe dogs consider their human relationship a gift as well. My professional experience includes:
