Info

We have seen literally thousands of new faces (human and canine) and hope that we have made a difference in the way that people in our community train their dogs. Many of you were positive trainers when you started with us, and you became better trainers. Others learned, just as we did about ten years ago, that positive training is a much more effective way to train than the "traditional" aversive-based methods - and you end up with a great relationship with your dog too! We hope that when dog trainers refer to "traditional" training 30 years from now, they will be talking about positive reinforcement-based methods. We owe a special thanks to our quality instructors (past and present) and good friends who have helped make PPDT a success: Karen and Jim Click (Puppy), Linda Chiaramonte (Family Dog, Rally), Susan Wagner (Puppy, Family Dog), Jennifer Carra (Family Dog), Lynn Hostetler (Agility), Mary Lou Krippner (Agility), Lisa Haidle (Agility, Family Dog, Rally) and Nancy Reyes (Family Dog, Agility). A great-big THANKS to all of you for teaching humans how to teach their dogs the right way!
