Background
I have been training dogs for 20 years, beginning with my German Shepherds, and over the last 7 years with all breeds of dogs. Thirty three years as an educator and behavior specialist has prepared me with an understanding of the principles of behavior theory: operant conditioning, task analysis, backwards chaining, modeling, behavior shaping, reinforcement, and successive approximations.  Teaching young children has amazing similarities to the principles applied to successful dog training.  Knowledge of  tools, the ability to communicate effectively, and organized and clear session goals leads to the success you will share with your canine companion. 
Actively participating in a dog training club, I have completed 36 titles on my own dogs over the years. Clients in my classes have gone on to successfully complete titles on their own dogs.

"Until he extends the circle of compassion to all living things, he himself will not find peace" Albert Schweitzer

“A newspaper can be an effective training tool when used properly. 
For instance, use the rolled up newspaper if your dog chews something or has a housetraining accident. 
Take the rolled up newspaper and hit yourself over the head as you repeat this phrase: 
I FORGOT TO WATCH MY DOG!  I FORGOT TO WATCH MY DOG! 
If your dog laughs at you when you do this, praise him.!
