"I think of this course as an exploded version of what I work on with clients in our first one or two sessions together. I wanted to give people the experience of sitting down with a trainer, but this format allowed me to add so much to that experience in the form of videos, animations, illustrations and expanded resources. I really believe that giving people a quick overview of how behavior functions in the animal world can help transform how they approach life with a dog. Nothing excites me more than watching people realize how fun and interesting dog training can be!" --Annie Grossman
