How did you hone your craft?
Dean began his journey of learning about dogs as he grew up around the family dog training business in the early 1980s. With a Unique Approach to Canine Behavior and Training When Quality Of Life With Your Companion Counts. We are about quality of life for both dog and owner. Houston’s ORIGINAL canine day care that’s rooted in training, learning games, activities, swimming and social skill building. In 2001, our innovative approach to Training and behavior combined with doggy day care began inside Houston’s largest indoor doggy day care facility in the Mid-Town area. Realizing that many dogs were beginning to behaviorally fail out of conventional doggy day care, we were called upon for our experience and expertise as behavior and obedience professionals. We developed an alternative program for those dogs that were highly intelligent and much more independent in their thinking to keep them social, structured, challenged and balanced. And since it worked so well, we began to offer it as an approach to preventing failures from occurring. Thus, The Thinking Dog Pack Socials, Pack Therapy and Skill Building as well as our Puppy Partners program, were born at Club Canine Where many times these services of dog day care are seen as nothing more than frivolous spoiling, we see them as a true vehicle for teaching, skill building and connecting owners with their canine companions in healthy relationships.See entire Bio: http://www.thethinkingdog.com/our-trainers/
