Do What You Love and Never Work A Day in Your Life.
Yes, I took a chance when I became a dog trainer and my family stood by me, when everyone else thought I was crazy. They told me that I should get a real job and that dog training was just a hobby. Here I am over 30 years later and I never worked a day in my life. This job is stress free. My biggest problem is if Mrs. Smith's little Muffin dog made it through the night without going to the bathroom or if Buddy the Labrador came when Betty called him inside before bedtime. Imagine this is your life... getting paid to play (train) with a dog. Being a dog trainer is a great job!
A career as a dog trainer is an excellent opportunity for the individual who loves dogs and would enjoy working with them. The rapid growth of the pet care industry, and specifically, the increasing number of dogs of all breeds as pets, has created a need for qualified dog trainers.

16 Days of PURE Dog Training Genius


Imagine being able to get any dog to respond to you instantly without saying a word… No food, No corrections, we use psychology - and it works.


Learn to train a dog to behave and listen to you within a few moments, even under distractions, like company coming over, a squirrel running in front of you, or kids on roller skates with Frisbees. Even with dogs most other trainers find difficult or even impossible to train, using Kinship®, we make it simple. Instead of training a dog by giving an endless series of corrections, the dog would learn to anticipate what you want and listen to you.

This could be you!
Most people think dog training is about learning how to correct the dog. You could be ruining the dog. Once you experience the joys of the success using Kinship® Psychological Dog Training® you will never be able to think about Pavlovian "reward-based" or "correction-based" dog training the same way again.
Become A Kinship® Psychological Dog Trainer® and you will learn:
- To Read a dog and know what they are thinking.
- To use Praise so the dog will learn quicker.
- The Two things you must understand about dog training to be effective.
- The Secrets to fixing any dog problem.
- How to get any dog to come to you off leash.
- How to house break a dog overnight.
- The insiders secrets to getting and keeping control of your dog off leash when company comes over.
- Dog Bite Prevention what you need to know and what you need to teach others.
You will also learn to use the dogs communication strategies in training, an amazingly simple way to get contact and attention using the dog's pack drive and how to read your dog's body language by recognizing four key components.

The AKC Canine Good Citizen Test 
Learn to train dogs to pass the American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen Test and how to administer the test.

Most training programs are based on reward and punishment and rely on conditioning. There is an alternative... Kinship® Psychological Dog Training®. You can teach a dog from a model based on learning. Teach your dog how to learn and escape from having to train it situationally. This means no corrections. Learn to 'talk' to dogs.
Teaching a dog to problem solve creates the mental stimulation needed for higher intelligence and a better temperament.
I begin by pacing, creating interest, obtaining respect, building confidence and developing rapport. I will teach you how to read a dog so you will understand them and how to pace them so you can develop rapport.
Once this is in place I will show you how to find out where you can meet them on a basis of mutual understanding. During this work you will study their general attitude and behavior, then begin to help them achieve their best possible self.
I will teach you how to work from the inside out. How to release dogs from poor behavior. You will end up teaching them how to play and have fun and do their own thinking, and most important of all how to be themselves (both the dogs and the humans).
"You will make a difference in the lives of the people and the dogs you work with." Robert H. Brandau
I know that you will have to build relationships with the dogs and earn their trust. Now I admit that I am a nonconformists in my methods and do not believe in the idea of a superior being compelling an inferior one to obey orders, but rather in developing contact and building a relationship where the dog can become secure, one that encourages balance, confidence, and contentment.
