What makes Giffy dog 
Different?

I have lived with hundreds of dogs.

I’ve been working with dogs extensively since 2000, when I began fostering rescue dogs. Over time, I started to work with dogs that had behavioral challenges, puppy mill or hoarding dogs, dogs that had trouble with housetraining or behaved unpredictably on a leash. I grew to love the challenging dogs.

And do you know what?

Almost every dog that came to my house thrived. I stopped counting how many dogs I have fostered in 2012 when I reached 250.

 

Fostering dogs has shaped my training. I understand dogs because I’ve had a unique opportunity to live with and learn from them.

 

Eventually, my experiences providing foster care for dogs led me to train.

This write up is amazing!!! I’ve been working off of it every day with our training sessions. I appreciate your expertise and thoroughness! WE have already learned so much from you! Jin-Gi is doing well! “Touch” was a challenge for him. However, on day #2 of practicing, he was a pro (intermediate pro)! 

 

Thanks for being such a wonderful dog AND human trainer/educator!
