- What Is Your Training Style? My training is relationship based. It is teaching the human how to be a better leader for their dog. I will guide you through concepts that will help you strengthen your connection. The actual works falls on you.
- Do You Consider Yourself a Force-Free (FF) or Pure Positive Trainer? I do not label myself as that, but I use methods from all aspects of the training spectrum.
- Do You Use Food or Treats for Training? I have areas in training where I work with food.
- Do You Fix My Dog and Hand It Back To Me? No. Only YOU can fix YOUR relationship with YOUR dog.
- How Many People Work at Happy Social Dog? One person. Occasionally for workshops or certain training cases there are volunteers who are shadowing.
- Where is Your Facility Located? I have no facility. This is in your home training or if needed, you or your dog can come to me.
- Why Wont You Call Me Back? At this time requests for me to call you to discuss how I train or training philosophy will not be honored. All of that information can be found within this website. Unfortunately there is just not enough time in the day to speak to everyone. The dogs we are working are our first priority, selling our service is not.
- What Forms of Payment Do You Take? Venmo, PayPal, Zelle, Cash, Check. If you need credit card payment please make me aware upfront so I can send you an invoice.
