I have over 40-years of working with "problem" dogs and their people.
Peterson's Positive Pups Learning Center is a positive reinforcement-based educational program that teaches owners effective methods of communicating with their dogs. Effective communication develops into effective training methods as owners learn how to time their cues and rewards. Proper timing of cues and rewards results in a pet who understands what behavior is wanted of them as well as what behaviors are considered inappropriate.
In addition to offering one-on-one, in your home, private sessions, we also offer group classes and head-start lessons. Our group classes in Smyrna, Dover and Milford are centered around "Foundation" (puppy and new dogs) with AKC STAR puppy award, "What Every Good Dog Should Know" (with AKC CGC award), "Therapy Dog Training" (I have over 40 years of visiting experience, over 20 years as an evaluator and thousands of hours visiting), "AKC Trick Dog" (Novice, Intermediate, Advanced & Performer titles), AKC Canine Good Citizen Advanced (Community Canine) and AKC Canine Good Citizen Urban classes and evaluations.
I travel throughout Delaware and into Maryland and Pennsylvania for private sessions.
I love watching a dog and handler grow into a Team! To help the owner learn how to work with their dogs using positives, to see the dog strongly react in an appropriate manner to this approach - when other techniques never derived the intended results - these are the things I really enjoy about the work I do.
