So we are so excited to have David as part of our Idawg team that we wanted to share a little about his background with you so you can understand his experience, training, and maybe where his training approach comes from. So enjoy!
"David Hogan, CTC, holds a Certificate in Training and Counseling from the San Francisco SPCA Academy For Dog Trainers, under the direction of Jean Donaldson, where he graduated with honors. David has been working with dogs since 2003, and in 2006 he launched his own business, David the Dog Walker. In 2007, David the Dog Trainer was added as the training branch of the business.
David is a positive reinforcement trainer who emphasizes the importance of establishing humane control and relationship building between pet dogs and their people. David specializes in clicker training, leash training, training walks, off-leash training, and obedience training. David recently prepared a client for his therapy dog training test (http://www.tdi-dog.org/), which they (pooch and handler) passed with flying colors.
David is committed to his clients and their success with their pets, and is as equally committed to continuing his own education and training. David attends seminars and workshops with leaders in the field of dog training and behavior, and is fortunate to have had the chance to learn from experts such as Terry Ryan, Dr. Ian Dunbar, Pia Silvani, and Sue Sternberg, to name a few."
Have fun when you train!
~ David
