Short Company Description: I do canine behavioural training, meaning that I teach people how to communicate in an instinctual and natural way with their dogs.
Give a brief description on what you would like to discuss on the show.: The need for dog owners to create a natural balance instead of forcing emotional and human psychology on a different species
What makes your company unique?: I teach from a natural, instinctual perspective without the need for tricks or tools. I teach instinctual communication with dogs which is about energy and body language
How did you get your start in the industry?: I have a police training business which is a global company, and it was a natural transition to teach using dogs instead of guns as the subject vehicle for instruction.
How is your business handling the COVID situation?: I actually got busier because people realised when they were with their dog more often during the day that they actually had problems that needed to be fixed
What advice would you give to someone just getting their start in the industry?: There are many different facets to the pet industry and teaching people about their dogs is actually a niche which many people in the business cannot do effectively
What’s your favorite way to get involved in the community?: I am a member of the Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce, and selected in 2020 as a Small Business Leader of the Year, the 1st pet training business to be selected as a small business leader in its 50 year history.
