On-line Training 

This online course is a work in progress so expect lots of loose ends and check back regularly to see what has been added.

Welcome to my collection of information to help you build a wonderful partnership with your dog. If you are one of my clients, this information will supplement the private training I am doing with you. If you're interested in having training ideas for your dog and you're not a client, this will still chart a learning path for you and your dog. You may also want to read my training book, The Evolution of Charlie Darwin, Partner with Your Dog Using Positive Training. It comes in both a black and white version and a much prettier, but a bit more costly color version.

This online information has lots of videos that will guide you through your teaching experience with your dog.

I've numbered the pages for easy reference:
    Positive Training!  ​- Introduction - Positive Training Basics

2. Pieces of the Puzzle - hand targeting
3. Bad Dog Retrieve - learning to work cooperatively with your dog
4. Platforms Rock! - beginning platform training

Online training is a new experience for us all and has demanded that we come up with creative ways to communicate effectively. One of my first online clients, Isabel Fernandez, has shared this new journey with me and has offered her impressions of our work with her buddy Felix. We've been using "Zoom" for our lessons.

​Working with Beth has opened up a whole new perspective on what kind of relationship we would like to have with our dog, Felix. We love that Beth’s training is not just about teaching cues such as sit, down, etc., but about developing a partnership with him, building trust and having fun along the process. It’s a learning experience not just for Felix, but for the whole family, and thanks to Beth, we have a deeper understanding of how our dog’s brain works, we have more & better ways to communicate with him, and are a stronger team all together.
