| THE PET TEACHER 248-232-3655 Helping You & Your Dog Become A Better Team! |


| What is the The Pet Teacher experience? First, it is a seasoned skill and understanding of dog sense. My formal dog behavior studies have given me comprehensive knowledge and understanding of canine psychology. I have years of proven expertise and know the difference between behavior management and behavior modification versus simply teaching you some training techniques ... and I know how to integrate all of this knowledge and skill into a thorough solution for YOUR needs. I can answer your questions on why your DOG does what he does, as well as how to get your dog to do what you want using gentle, confident guidance and leadership. It is also the scope of my professional expertise and how to use it to help you toward your goals. In addition to my extensive knowledge of canine psychology, I spent many years in corporate training teaching relationship skill building so I also have people sense. Schooled in organizational psychology and development, I teach you the science and value of collaborative motivation. I understand why YOU do what you do and how to help both you and your dog learn and repeat practical behaviors. A new generation of highly successful dog trainers are proving that it's possible to train dogs without using outdated concepts of force and intimidation, instead using gentle and effective methods based on scientific principles of learning and behavior. There is no need to use force methods to train your dog. My methods will give you the ability to work with your dog's natural instincts using an assortment of tools and techniques to help your dog become the well-behaved housemate you desire. I teach you how to create lasting life skills for you and your dog!

| THE PET TEACHER EXPERIENCE |

| award-winning producer of TV spots, documentaries and corporate training programs with expertise in leading global teams in traditional live and video communications, mobile, satellite and experiential training, ride & drives, conventions and conferences, and even guerilla marketing. She then became an on-camera host, training facilitator and writer for Fortune 500 companies for their customer and employee learning projects. She studied Organizational Psychology at the University of Michigan, as well as being a graduate of Dale Carnegie, Toastmasters, Denis Waitley, Brian Tracy, Dave Meier and the Disney Institute. Denise has also received three Certificates of Appreciation from the United States Marine Corps for her work on local recruiting television spots, along with volunteering for Toys For Tots. Throughout her life many dogs have lived with Denise – a Beagle, Scottish Terrier, English Bulldog, Cairn Terrier, Golden Retriever, American Staffordshire Terrier, Poodle, Pekingese, Cocker Spaniel, Tibetan Spaniel, Australian Shepherd, Border Collie and several mixed breeds; she always has two or three dogs living with her. With years of personal hands-on experience with dogs, she did not like the force and intimidation methods of traditional compulsion dog training, so she developed her own style calling it the “Thank You Method” of dog training, often helping her friends with their dogs. She noticed that her way of teaching dogs resembled the new ways of training in the corporate world by using motivation rather than fear. She took all she had learned in the corporate world and went on a search for a way to educate people on non-force dog training methods, studying dog behavior while training on her own for several years using her knowledge of behavior and psychology. Denise found the facility she was searching for where she could officially study Positive Reinforcement methodology, becoming an accredited dog trainer through their program. With thousands of hours of dog behavior studies completed and still studying, Denise is now the buzz in the dog world as an in-home trainer/behavior consultant, specializing in anxiety issues. She works with area veterinarians teaching them how to train their dogs, along with consulting at a local shelter. With experience working with blind, deaf, aggressive and high-energy dogs, her gentle humane methods are successful with all breeds, ages and temperaments. Her own program, Pregnant Paws , prepares people and their dogs for a new baby. Denise gives seminars on responsible pet ownership, child dog safety, motivational dog training methods, along with clicker training demonstrations. Denise is an advanced expert at problem solving all dog behavior issues that pet owners have in their homes with their families because that’s what she’s been doing for the past ten years. All of her people-training skills from her corporate projects, combined with her in- depth studies of dog behavior, along with working with thousands of people and their dogs in their homes gives Denise the seasoned skill to help you and your dog become a better team! |
