K9bu dog training

About

Greetings!
I’m here to help you gain a better understanding about your dog. We will get to the root of all the questions you have and maybe help our dogs understand us better too, because a relationship is a two way street. It can be a very confusing world for our furry friends, especially if they are trying to guess what to do next. We can speak English, but most of us are pretty limited in speaking dog. The evidence shows that the most effective way is through rewards; so when we reward behavior that we consider desirable, it is positive reinforcement.

I use positive reinforcement and the mirror method, incorporating a clicker. It is my philosophy that dogs look to us more like parents, then leaders, so respect is essential in helping your dog do what you say.

We come from very different worlds, but in many instances there are cross associations that we can relate to. We all want to share our lives with someone caring and someone that truly loves us. Like us, dogs too want a warm heart and a caring hand to guide us. It would be nice to have someone in our life that led us down the right path, someone that we can trust and always go to for answers. Yes, dogs want these things too. In these aspects, they want what you and I want.

I have a Bachelor Degree in Business Management and I’m a graduate of Dog Training Internship Academy (DTIA) in San Francisco and have achieved a Certificate in Dog Training and Behavior Consultations. I am also a certified AKC CGC Evaluator and can administer the following tests: AKC Star (first level), Canine Good Citizen (second level), AKC Community Canine (third level), and AKC Urban CGC (fourth and most advanced level).

My most rewarding endeavor is working with dogs and dog owners. Dogs are my passion and my purpose in life. I trained under the tutelage of Janis Bradley and Jean Donaldson. My experience with dogs began in San Francisco and continues now in Southern California as I have been training dogs for 8 years. We at k9bu look forward to working with you and your dog.
