What tip would you give pet parents for working with animals that you've learned as a pro?
Treat animals with kindness and respect. Understand that if they're not understanding something you're trying to teach them, they're not being stubborn! You are likely leaving some information that they need out, not being consistent, or jumping too many steps ahead.
What is one thing you want pet parents to know about you? It can be whatev-fur you'd like!
You can have great training and behavior modification results using gentle, positive methods. I will help you put yourself in your pet's shoes and understand why they are behaving the way they are, how to change that behavior for a more harmonious household, and a happier pet!
