Hi Everyone! Welcome to The Domesticated Dog (THEDD) community here on Dogly. I am so happy you have chosen to be a part of our community. The THEDD community is a safe place for pet guardians and pet professionals to ask questions, network, and learn training technologies and philosophies. I first started learning positive reinforcement (R+) with dogs in January 2010. As a Wounded Service member undergoing medical recovery from wounds sustained in combat, I was introduced to service dogs and training. It was through my participation and learning with service dogs that I found my passion to educate dog guardians and their animals' by using humane training methods. Certifications include: University of WA -Applied Animal Behavior (UW-AAB) Karen Pryor Academy Graduate (KPA-CTP) The Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainer -(CPDT-KA) AKC -Canine good citizen evaluator (AKC-CGC) Petco Lead Training Instructor Puppy Start Right Instructor (KPA)- Experience
