For many years I had great experiences raising, training and showing my Lab Casey in obedience competition - she got her Companion Dog degree from the AKC and she was a fun dog who also loved to go camping and was taught to carefully retrieve pheasant with my dad on hunting trips. We also had a Pekapoo - she was a quick learner and very smart. I've worked with Guide Dogs for the Blind that raise dogs to become either a professional guide or an amazing pet. I admired many of their techniques and still recommend them to dog owners - who wouldn't want to have a pet that doesn't beg? I can help to reinforce any training that you may have in progress with your dog or puppy. It can happen! I now have a rescued Maltese poodle who follows me everywhere and loves her toys and to take walks.
