Hi, I’m a Texan who moved here to be with my wife. I served for 7 years in the US Navy, and now I’m a full time student with the Open University. I also work from home. I am always looking for an excuse to get out of the house. I have had dogs most of my life, but my last two were the most challenging. They were rescues who had some history of abuse. I took my dogs through months of training. I was taught under the philosophy of Patricia McConnell. If you get a chance, check out her book ‘The Other End of the Leash’. My trainer was an incredible resource, I am more than happy to provide her contact details if you would like a referral. I was able to volunteer with her when she would run training clinics. I also follow the positive re-enforcement training of Glasgow Dog Trainer and Behaviour Consultant (check out his Facebook page, he is posting regularly on good positive training techniques). I believe that the best behaved dogs, are the exhausted dogs. Each walk I will focus on providing your dog a chance to exercise and train. Unfortunately, I can not have dogs while we are renting. :( I would love to come and walk your dogs. The highlight of my day is meeting a friendly dog.
