I hope you have had as much fun perusing this website as I have had helping to create it, with Amy Dunphy of PetWebDesigns.com! For all you Mad TV Fans, Look What I Can Do! comes from the character of the overgrown man-child Stewart. I can tell the people that read every
word closely; there are a total of five now who have
laughingly commented on the Stewart association. Unfortunately, that skit is no longer around and faded into oblivion, except in my mind. I have a pretty free ranging imagination and can imagine the dogs, with their new found skills, saying " Look what I Can Do!" to their little doggy friends. It seemed to be a good fit. I look forward to hearing from all and sundry with comments, questions or just a hey, how are ya? I hope one of the training services I offer will be of use to you. In the not too distant future, it is my goal to get the initials CPDT behind my name. Stay tuned for the adventure!

TESTIMONIALS
Returned to me on 3/22, a survey from the owner of a 1 yo Labrador Retriever, and Graduate from Good Manners Level 1. Do you feel your goals were met? " Yes, I found this training to be very interesting and it fulfilled my goals. Just wish I had found this earlier to get him in the puppy socialization class.
What did you like least about the Good Manners Class? "I liked the way it was organized and structured. This includes the handouts that were provided, weekly lesson plans and the time for interacting with the other animals. I especially love the newsletters you send out, they are informative and help us learn more about our dogs." What did you like least about the Good Manners Program?" I Cannot think of one thing. Obviously you will continue to be successful with this program. Your love of the animals (and the humans) shows in your conduct and how the class is organized. I`m very impressed with the entire program." How could the instructor improve client interactions? " I cannot think of anything and am very impressed with how you set up your business (webpage, email etc.) Overall I`m very pleased and could not ask for anything more." What was the most important thing YOU learned? " The most important thing for me was learning about POSITIVE reinforcement. Most training I`ve read about seemed to involve ""man handling" " the dog. This training was exactly what you said. It was fun and I noticed an immediate difference in MY attitude and how the dog responded."
Last month I had the pleasure of working with Butter, a lovely but fearful yellow Labrador Retriever that landed herself a wonderful home with caring owners. About training goals: " Simple training techniques helped Butter to trust me and Pat more, and also taught her the basics of how to behave. Liked Best? " The techniques were easy to use and apply, and Leslie was able to adjust the program accordinly to try to work on some of Butter`s fears. The instructor was rated as, "very good, needed no improvement." The most important thing YOU learned: " The basics of how to start training a dog, and being a strong leader to your pet. Even the stubborn one (Huskie not worked with) is starting to listen.
Trainer note: most often stubborn can equate to needs training!
