“Our expansion and growth can only be delayed by not having sufficient qualified staff to run our expansion operations successfully. The consistent quality that we have achieved and are known for, can only be enhanced by continually identifying, modifying and creating “best practices” and implementing them through an efficient educational channel.” Tom Murray, July, 2007.

Is your dog nervous or anxious when encountering new situations like loud noises? Going to the vet? When a dog approaches? When a stranger approaches? Does your dog suffer from separation anxiety or is he a Velcro dog? Nervousness and anxiety is not a typical behavior shown by dogs but it is common. This behavior is fixable and will allow your dog to be more relaxed and enjoy life more. The majority of cases don’t require drugs because drugs only place a band-aid on the dog, not fix the underlying problem.

This seminar will help you determine if your dog truly is dog aggressive and if so, how to deal with it.
- Understanding Your Best Friend
Dog’s need more than food, water and shelter. Many dogs suffer from behavior problems because the owner doesn’t understand what their best friend needs to live a happy, fulfilled life. This seminar will teach you how to give your dog everything he needs.
