The DogTutor
About
I am a dog trainer with over 30 years experience. I have always had dogs my entire life and also cats. My passion for animals started when I was a young boy. All my friends went to college I went to K9 dog training school and with a few new adjustments love praise and reward was the way I started to train dogs. My reward was helping the owner and his dog companion learn the basics commands.
