Puppy Training

Carol has shared her knowledge with hundreds of students and their dogs through classes she held with the Greater St Louis Training Club (GSLTC) and privately. She encourages her students to look at the whole dog. Understanding the emotional side of their dog, her students are able to build canine-human relationships of trust and respect. Her students acquire training skills to train their dog tasks of multiple levels of difficulty, never compromising the relationship. Carol feels there is nothing more rewarding than seeing the human canine bond develop. She believes positive reinforcement marker training techniques enhance this bond and communication, so to help dogs and their guardians have a happy long life together. She provides a 30 minute free consultation/introduction to training techniques. She works with her private clients to provide a program that best suits their dog training needs.
