I have a lot of experience with training dogs my whole life. I currently have a 8 month old springer spaniel that i trained to sit , stay, wait, up, lay-down, off, Shake (paw). I had her potty trained within 3 months or less. I Believe dogs are family and should be treated as such. My life was saved from a fire by my first dog when i was 4 years old. As a curious 4 year old i found a lighter and lit a piece of toilet paper on fire. I burned my finger and dropped it on the rug. the rug went up in flames..then the bathroom just caught fire. The smoke alarm went off and before you new it i was knocked into the tub by my rottweiler named Bow. It was a very traumatic experience but i will be forever grateful. Dogs are amazing and i enjoy working with them.
