What motivates Ohio dog trainers?

Christine Good became a dog trainer because Working in the veterinary field I realized that there was a huge need for more education and training without force. So many animals were surrendered, rehomed, or even euthanized for behavioral challenges that could have been prevented or avoided if clients had received better advice from the beginning on the relationship with their pet. I think, animal behavior is absolutely fascinating and teaches us a lot about ourselves. I love creating a stronger bond that goes both ways between dogs and their families./. Similarly, Sarah Dugger and Hannah Burke Garbett have unique motivations, with I recognized a need in the pet owner community for ethical, positive, and skillful trainers. In my 'zoo bubble' I was surrounded by the best of the best trainers, but in our everyday society, there is an overwhelming amount of traditional and behavior-suppressing methods. I feel motivated to show people that there is a better way, and that we can get results that leave both the pet parent and the pet happier and more bonded. andI understand the struggle of raising an exuberant puppy or the stress that comes from experiencing behavior problems with an older dog. One of my goals as a trainer is not just to help humans have 'better dogs' but also to help dogs have 'better humans.' To me that means reading canine body language, knowing how to meet the needs of your individual dog and learning how to teach new skills with kindness and compassion. I love helping families understand and enjoy their dogs, building bonds and connection that lasts a lifetime. driving their passion.

What is Christine Good biggest tip?

For Christine Good, the best tip is to: I think, we could solve half our dog problems by picking dogs that fit our lifestyle better. For example -puppies may look adorable with their big eyes but they are really Velociraptors on steroids! They bite, and have accidents, and bite some more. It is also a misconception that puppies are blank slates and won't develop problems. Puberty is awful no matter the species. Dogs two and over have fully formed personalities. What you see is usually what you get - if you know how to look. Also, although we may fantasize about driving a racecar and may enjoy watching them, most of us are much better served in real life with an SUV or sedan. There are breeds out there that appear in movies or online videos showing off fantastic skills - but they are not made to be living in suburbia around families. They are not happy - and you won't be either..

What do Ohio trainers love most about their work?

Christine Good finds the greatest joy in I love people. I love dogs. I love kids. This job allows me to work with all three. I love that I can help develop understanding, compassion, and joy in families and help dog/human families grow closer together., while Sarah Dugger and Hannah Burke Garbett cherish Witnessing my clients have success with their pet, and Witnessing my clients have success with their pet, respectively.
