Hadn't kept up with her as much since when she first came on animal planet but as far as I can tell, she still seems to be doing well in dog behavior managements.
Good to know what sites to avoid in looking for doggie advise, though. I'll usually trust my instinct that if it sounds right for my dog or not. I think a good trainer can work around each individual dog as, like children, different methods work for different dogs. |
I've used some of the methods she used on the show and if I get the chance, pass it on to others. I think she's really good at directing not just the dogs but the owners.
