Our newest Assistance Dog Training case is Bear K. It’s funny to have two Service Dogs -in-Training with the same names lol.

Bear K. is going through training to become a Service/Therapy Dog. Actually, Assistance Animals do serve the purpose of being therapeutic companions for their people, but to become certified as a Therapy Dog he will need to develop additional skills.

We have begun working on Attention/Response to his name, the Recall, Leave It, Take It, Go Place, Safe, Wait, and his Leash Skills. He’s doing well on everything except the Leave-It — go figure, a Beagle/Corgi Mix that has trouble leaving food alone lol. His person K. has already done a great deal of work with Bear K., so some of what we’re doing is just helping him to become fluent in behaviors he already knows.

Bear K. is already a world traveler, and is currently off on another trip. We will resume our training when he returns. Hmm, I think it’s time for us all to go shopping together to “work” with him. : D.

His person K., claims that he is always wiped out after our sessions. Check out the pix below and let me know what you think. hehe.

Doggy Sayings

Author: admin

“Dogs need to sniff the ground; it’s how they keep abreast of current events. The ground is a giant dog newspaper, containing all kinds of late-breaking dog news items, which, if they are especially urgent, are often continued in the next yard.” Dave Barry

 

“My dog is worried about the economy because Alpo is up to $3.00 a can. That’s almost $21.00 in dog money.” Joe Weinstein

Testimonials

I have known and worked with Elizabeth Brooks and Paw Pals since 2006. With her, I have worked on training with three of my dogs. I have found her to not only be extremely knowledgeable, but a true professional. She was also very caring with my dogs, not only in the training sense, but also in her personal relationship with them – they not only became attached to her, but she became attached to them as well. I have worked with her doing both one-on-one private lessons, as well as group lessons. Elizabeth helps her clients develop a greater understanding of canine behavior, and demonstrates how Positive Reinforcement training is effective. I learned a great deal from her regarding behavior, as well as the science behind the application of Positive Reinforcement training techniques. I found the way that she conducted her training lessons was a combination of educating the clients about behavior, helping them develop their training skills, and a sense of humor that made our lessons fun, interesting, educational, and enjoyable. I am very comfortable recommending Elizabeth to others, and have referred friends to her. I have also recommended her to people at the dog park, or other locations, that are looking for a trainer. After working with Elizabeth and her use of Positive Reinforcement training methods, I believe that my increased knowledge of canine behavior will enable me to achieve anything that I want to with my dog. I’m glad to have met her, and plan to continue to work with her.
