My Best Friend Dog Training

Do you need a dog trainer?

Do you wish your dog would do what you ask? Often, the problem lies in how we humans communicate with our dogs. Unfortunately, what might seem crystal clear to us can leave our dogs very confused!

Through My Best Friend Dog Training, Judy Archer-Dick and Margery Latchaw work together to help owners learn how to communicate more effectively and successfully with their pet dogs.

Our primary goal is to help owners learn three things:

• how to teach their dogs the behaviors they want them to do
• how to communicate clearly and consistently through signals, cues, and awareness of our own behavior, so the dog will do what we ask when requested
• management techniques to avoid undesirable behaviors while the dog is learning

When these three things can be accomplished, it is possible to have a great relationship with our dogs, with minimal conflict and maximum communication, trust and fun!

We are both graduates of Purdue University's DOGS! Course: Principles and Techniques of Behavior Modification, and are professional members of APDT (Association of Pet Dog Trainers). Judy has also achieved the nationally respected designation of CPDT (Certified Pet Dog Trainer).
