"Gail’s approach to training has provided me with insight into Cheeto’s motivations. He still does things on Cheeto time but is more attentive and responsive to commands. The information that Gail provides on behaviours allows for individual training needs while still in a group setting. Adding a “play time” into each session makes it more fun than just working on commands for both of us." - Rose D. Mission, BC
