art and science

Successful behavior change takes both art and science.  I've practiced the art of teaching and training for over 20 years and learned both technical skills for training and relationship skills to promote partnerships based in respect and communication.  I back this experience up every day by keeping up to date on the latest high-quality science in behavior modification, the human-animal relationship, and best practices for supporting behavioral wellness in our companion animals. 
​If I can't back up my practice with current research, I'll change the practice-- can your trainer say the same?
