Patrick's method has proved to produce a safe, positive learning curve in dogs by teaching them to respond with aversion to the sound, smell and visual stimulus of a rattlesnake to avoid being bitten by one.
Patrick has a good eye for reading dogs. His timing impeccable. Not only has he developed the method he uses, but continues to improve upon it..ever a student of life and observation himself!
You will adore Patrick's lovely assistant (and boss..the wife)

J9sK9s FUN & GAMES DOG TRAINING
http://j9sk9s.com/
Train your dog through playing games, to achieve amazing results!
The J9sK9s crew is passionate in their belief that...
DOG TRAINING IS FUN
!
In recent years, dog training has changed dramatically. More and more trainers are using positive motivation as their primary tool for behavior modification, minimizing punishment and corrections. The result is a dog who obeys with the "utmost of willingness and enjoyment", instead of a slinking flattened dog who obeys out of fear of correction.
All dogs are individuals, and there are unlimited ways to train them. Teaching and changing behavior is a constant process of creative brainstorming on the part of a dog trainer to find the method that works for the dog and the human as partners.
Dogs are a product of the environment we create for them. Every moment you are with your dog you are training your dog, whether or not you realize it. The training continues when your dog is left alone; behavior is created and changed by what your dog finds to be rewarding. It is up to the human partner to protect the dog and to put together an environment that creates the desired behavior.
All dogs go through a period of canine adolescence. This is a difficult time for the human/canine team, and can last until the dog is around three years old. The adult dog is a direct result of the amount of time and effort the human puts into training during the first two to three years.
The wonderful secret to the whole process is...
having fun with your dog!
