My name is Janet.
Professionally, I train people to train their dogs, I hold formal credentials that allow me to conduct testing required for advanced certifications, and I make community outreach visits with my own dog Jasper here in western Wayne County Michigan.
Most people will find the menu bars as most efficient way of getting to where you need to go on this site. Additionally, one of the links below will likely get you into the right ballpark for a starters.

My husband (and business partner) likes to tell his story about a time when someone said The Ten Commandments were sent down by God to spoil all the fun for everyone.
Dell says “it’s the exact opposite.” Clear rules help us know what to expect and give us wonderful guides to accomplishing great things, and they help keep people from getting in over their heads. They are the foundation for positive relationships.
I agree. And, since we’re focused on dogs here, I will add that dogs agree, too — or at least they want to agree. If you speak their language, you can ask them and they will tell you that. In fact, they’d love nothing more than for you to know what sorts of work best suits them, which job you’d like to pick for them from that list, and live out their lives with you in that sort of positive relationship.
If any I’ve written here so far is of interest to you, let me know!
