What sparked your interest in dog psychology?
It wasn’t a choice. It was my destiny to teach dog psychology. I came to America to learn how to train dogs, but fate had a different agenda for me, it sent me to teach. I inherited the knowledge needed from my friends and family.

Do you have a favorite breed to train?
Every breed is different. It isn’t the breed that makes them hard to train. And I connect with dogs, I don’t train them. It’s up to the handler to find what inspires or motivates that particular dog. Find your dog’s passion and you can teach him whatever you want.

What’s the best tip you can give people who are having trouble with their dogs?
It isn’t the human that is having trouble with their dog. It’s the dog that is having trouble with the human. My best advice is to ask these questions. How do I feel around my dog? What is my energy like around my dogs? Do I walk with purpose so that my dog feels safe? And, am I consistent with my dogs?
