A BARK AWAY DOG TRAINING
Any dog can be a Canine Good Citizen regardless of pedigree, with the interest of a responsible guardian and some good training time invested. CGC training helps a responsible pet guardian turn their canine companion into a well socialized and obedient dog. Guardians benefit from having dogs with manners that may allow them certain privileges and the secure feeling that their dogs will behave in many environments from dog parks to visits with residents in nursing homes or with students at schools.
The CGC test is available for any dogs that are pure bred, mixed breed, and even those dogs that are considered lost causes by some; the shelter dogs. With training, some of my best students have been shelter dogs who’ve received their certificates with their new guardians. Every dog is unique, and in my classes I try to help guardians one on one, to discover unique ways to help their dogs succeed. Guardians who may be visiting this site and who are looking for training for their dog are definitely on the right track!
The dog/human breakdown in a relationship is a result of lack of understanding and communication. As long as there is this breakdown, dogs will continue to end up at shelter doors. It is rewarding for me to help mend the broken dog/human bond, especially for shelter dogs, who have given me so much in experience and understanding of their specific problems. It is equally rewarding for me to help humans understand dog language. I understand that language and would like to help dogs and guardians mend their relationships. I am only “A BARK AWAY”.

The practice of patience protects us from losing our composure. In doing that it enables us to exercise discernment, even in the heat of difficult situations. It gives us inner space. And within that space we gain a degree of self-control, which allows us to respond to situations in an appropriate and compassionate manner rather than being driven by our anger and irritation.
