Excellent course that leaves me inspired to learn more from this world-renowned trainer. His ideas and execution of training fit my idea of what a great dog trainer is. His approach is holistic, fun, logical, compassionate, and respectful to the species which I believe is missing from many training programs taught today. I am excited to get started and instruct his way of teaching to dogs and their humans.
