  Canine Translations

  Jun 2013 - Jun 2015

  Trainer

  At Canine Translations I focus greatly on teaching the human to understand what their dogs are telling them, how a dog thinks, and how to speak their language to them. I also teach the dog what it is the human is wanting from them and what things are allowed and what things are not in the household. I teach basic obedience to the dog and I also work with them on undesirable behaviors they may have developed over time (jumping, chasing, nipping, anxiety, aggression). I also teach the human how to work with their dog so that after I am gone they will know how to keep the behaviors they have been trained to have. Show less
