“Make training fun… they will learn. The simplest philosophy I have learned in all my 40+ years of experience is to maintain patience, compassion, and respect while training your dog. This will build confidence and make the training process fun for both of you. Always view things from your dog’s point of view and you will build a bond with your dog and achieve fantastic results and a lifelong friendship.” - Dick Palazzo, President, Purr’n Pooch Pet Resorts
