Understanding how to get MORE out of the dogs you train is the best way to get MORE out of your business. Steve has trained countless trainers in a method of communication that transcends the dog-human relationship to help them grow their business. In an increasingly volatile debate over which methods are safe, humane and effective, trainers are left sorting out the minutia while being distracted from training dogs. Learn how to navigate the differences in training methods and become the trainer you’ve always wanted to become. Learn why there are different methods to employ, and learn why they are important.

This is NOT a single methods course, but rather a practical course on using different methods for different dogs - and how to do so effectively.
