My Reflections On 2017

I always spend some time and energy at the end of the year thinking about the reasons I have to be grateful. Pictured are some of the many faces I am so appreciative to have had the opportunity to work with this year. What makes my pet training so fulfilling for me is knowing I am helping people – and their non-human companions. This is about more than simply teaching behaviors, it is also about enriching and empowering lives, and strengthening relationships. I am committed to continue my own learning process too, to learn new approaches and strengthen my skills for using the most positive approaches to solving pet behavior problems so that I can continue to grow and improve in being able to help others – and myself.. Thank you to everyone for being here…and to those who I have personally helped!
