Dog Trainer School 2Jennifer's school delivers not only a hands-on approach in dealing with dogs, you will learn how to become self-motivated and how to focus yourself into becoming your very best. Dog trainers are also urged in the higher levels to look beyond the dog and concentrate on their own human psychology as well as the art of visualization, meditation, breathing techniques and more. Many students often feel a sense of calm and tranquility once achieving these skills as they see the power they hold when applying them to animal healing and their own personal lives.

You will learn the ABC's of dealing with dogs and the people who own them, techniques, skills and methods required to have your own "toolbox" of solutions to various behavior and training problems, how Jennifer uses wolf research and primal instincts to alter dog's lives for the better, techniques on how to interact with dogs with no collar, leash, clickers or treats, sports psychology to mentally prepare you for dealing with aggressive situations, keeping your mind focussed "on the prize", competition training and the list goes on.

This training school is specifically tailored to you as an individual with a structured approach. Participants will receive certification in different levels of achievement and the education you will receive can take your career well beyond the next level. Whether you're a first time dog owner or one with years of experience, Jennifer will guide you into thinking creatively and "out of the box", instruct you on her cutting- edge methods and show you how to reach the top of the dog pack.

Testimonial:

"I am happy to say that since I've gotten back, I've fallen very easily into using the things I learned while in Colorado. I've become much more aware of the way I use my voice, and make use of my own body language even more than I did before, and I've noticed that I even have more patience. The results and the response that I'm getting from my dogs has been amazing, and I feel like there's no end to what I can accomplish with them." — Audra Tang
