Martha Bernal

I use force-free training methods to get the desired behavior in dogs. It is my  believe that harsh punishment may make inappropriate behaviors worse and if continuously applied may contribute to aggressive behavior.

I am the proud owner of two golden retrievers and have dedicated over 18 years to fostering and caring for dogs. Throughout the years, I have learned to understand dog body language and apply force-free techniques to obtain the desired behaviors in  dogs.
