Hellroaring Dog Training
was established 1998 by Karen Duty. Karen has been
training dogs since childhood beginning with the local
4-H club in Lewistown Mt., where she grew up. Karen’s
method of training is more of a technique or an art form
than any single “method” of training.
Karen is a Professional
Member of the International Association of Canine
Professionals and a member of the Association of Pet Dog
Trainers. She is a Certified Dog Obedience Training
Instructor with the Animal Behavior University in
Northridge CA. In 2002, Karen interned with Rick &
Ronnie Smith in Big Cabin, OK in the “Silent Command
System” by Delmar Smith. She and two of her dogs, Ella
and M are members of the Delta Society’s Pet Therapy
program, “The Human Animal Connection Pet Partner’s
Program” based in Bellevue, WA.
Karen attends seminars
yearly for further education. This winter Karen has been
doing Continuing Education through Animal Behavior
Associates, Inc in Littleton, CO. Before that she
attended “A Dog Behavior Seminar” with Dog Behavior
Expert Cesar Millan and Wendy Vollard’s “Training
Drives” seminars in Hutto Texas. She has also attended
an Instructors Workshop by Terry Ryan on “Coaching
People to Train Their Dogs “ in Sequim Washington and
the Clicker Expo with Karen Pryor, a pioneer in Clicker
Training.
“It’s not just about dogs, it’s about dogs and their
people. My job is to improve the relationship between
dog and owner, with “whatever works” but still following
the Hippocratic oath, “First do no harm”. All dogs and
their people are different. Finding the right
combination that makes it all come together is the key.
My system is easily understandable, enjoyable, humane
and effective for all concerned”. —Karen |
