2020: The year of the trigger

 What triggers you? What  word or phrase that creates that  negative emotional response that  makes your jaw clench, turns your nerves to static &  cause racing responses that smash around in your head like a pin ball machine? 
 
The dog training industry is full of triggers …here are a few: Fur baby, shock collar, e collar, clicker, fear free, balanced training,  purely positive training, accountability, no pull harness’s, prong collar...just to name a few
Add any of these words to a dog training face book group and watch the sparks fly.  
 
Here is the kicker though… each one of us has a choice on how to respond to a trigger. We don’t have to get into senseless battles with complete strangers on face book with no results other than raising blood pressure. 
 
We can keep scrolling …enjoy pictures of sunsets and funny memes.  We can decide how we want to spend our time on social media.

’what does this have to do with dog training?’…you might ask........ Read more

Basic Obedience Class with Teri was amazingly helpful. Benson is so much more attentive, responsive and a joy to work with. I am thrilled with his progress and we're having so much fun continuing the training! ​

Words cannot express how much Javier and I adore Teri. We have taken both private lessons and group classes with her; each has been fun, and effective. Teri is knowledgeable beyond belief, and is a guru of positive reinforcement training methods. She taught me to better communicate with Javier, and as a result he has transformed from a naughty puppy to a well-behaved dog who is full of joy!

I can't say enough about our experience with Ligiro training!   With Teri's warm and patient support, my dog and I not only learned some new tricks and strengthened old skills, we really learned how to communicate with one another. Teri was able to show me how to communicate with my dog so that he understood what I was asking of him, and in turn, I'm more bonded with my best friend. What's more? The love Teri has for dogs, for teaching, and my dog in particular, really shines through, making what could have been a stressful experience truly a joy. Teri - Blue and I can't thank you enough!
Warmly, ​
