more about us
 Nag long enough and your parents will agree to almost
anything. I can hear Dad’s
exasperated voice uttering those magic words: “We’ll get a dog when we move to
the suburbs.”
True to his word, when we moved to the ‘burbs, Dad
brought home Bagel the Beagle. Oh
how we loved that little critter. Just not enough to walk, feed, train or clean
up after her. We left that for Mom and Dad.
I came home one summer day and Bagel was gone. “We
took her to live on a farm,” said Dad. I was heartbroken.
My affinity for dogs returned in my 20s, when I met my
then-girlfriend's 165-pound Great Dane lapdog. Everyone said he wasn’t too
smart, but he listened to me. After that came a series of dogs (and yes,
girlfriends!) and I started working with them – the dogs, that is. I had much more success with them, until I met my amazing wife!
For over 20 years, I've worked with friends’ dogs,
friends of friends’ dogs, my own dogs, and some excellent, creative instructors
and mentors. One of those folks
asked me about my day job. I replied that
while I was in project management, I'd rather be doing what he did. He asked
what was stopping me. Dog Star was born.
My philosophy is simple: People need to be trained.
Dogs will learn what we teach them.
We just need to make the right choices based on an understanding of canine
behavior and comprehension, and love; everyone will be happy. |
