         I live on a farm in the Uninted States of America in North Alabama where I grew up.  I am a professional dog trainer and have been training since age 8.  I am not the type of person who would come to mind when you think dog training.  I love dogs and my favorite part of training is teaching tricks.  I have taught around 20 classes each week with anywhere from 5 to 12 dogs in each class!  If I wasn't good with dogs, controling 12 or even 5 dogs in a small ring would be impossible.  Behavior problems and lack of training are the main reason dogs are turned over to the shelters.  I am hoping to prevent that for as many people as possible by sharing my fun effective training techniques with the world.  I hope you enjoy my Hubs and if you need any extra help or have strange problems email me I will help.  

I have experience with all breeds of dogs and personal and professional experience with rescued dogs and puppies including blind and deaf dogs.  I want to share my training knowledge and experience with you.  

 I hope you find my dog training articles helpful and fun!!
