I have experience volunteering to raise and train pure bred German Shepherd puppies as well as experience professionally training all kinds of dogs. I have two rescues, Nelly (Boxer/American Bulldog) and Tripp (German Rottweiler). I can handle a big strong dog and I can do it the right way. All of the training experience I have is based on Positive reinforcement. So basically, the kind dogs enjoy, not the kind they are afraid of. I also love small dogs and barkers don't bother me. I think our animal companions all have something to say, they just all say it a little differently. I pay attention to body language to understand what each dog is trying to communicate. Please understand, I am not volunteering to extensively train your dog, however, sometimes just walking and playing with a trainer can help a dog develop a few good habits.
