The studies will investigate why dog trainers use specific training techniques and the prevalence and predictors of change in training method usage over time.

To fund this vital research, PPG has asked industry experts including Jean Donaldson and myself to volunteer our time and expertise to give a unique series of educational webinars. All proceeds will help fund scientific research to advance the pet training industry.

Ps. If you join PPG, not only will you be supporting humane treatment of animals, but you get $10 off all webinars!

Don't miss out, open now for registration!

LEASH REACTIVITY DEEP-DIVE is my group mentorship program in which I spend 8 weeks with a small group of people struggling with leash reactivity. I can't wait to get started!

Because this is a custom experience and I get to know each of you and your dogs intimately, space is limited to only 10 people.

I have so many fun games and topics ready to go!

I hope to see you soon,

Christina

They have feelings and emotions similar to the ones we feel. While their minds may differ in certain ways, we all thrive on kindness, love, compassion, and the...
