November 9, 2024 will mark my “retirement” from dog training after a solid and rewarding five years with Unleashed Niagara, another five years training elsewhere, and 14 years fostering, photographing, and caring for dogs big and small.

Always end on a high note! That’s what we teach at Unleashed Niagara, because Candice and I believe positive reinforcement is the best possible strategy when it comes to dog training. Turns out it can also be a solid mantra in everyday life. So it is with high notes in mind that I wrap up my time as an instructor at our wonderful dog school.
