”I think my role as a dog trainer is actually more of a ‘communication facilitator’ between dogs and their families. Since every situation is unique, sometimes you have to use a little creativity to bridge that communication gap. Achieving the end goal of happy dogs with happy dog families never fails to make me smile.”
