“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 |
