| Florence Bernhard, The Tail Wagger's Club Owner, has been studying animal learning and memory for over fifteen years. She has done extensive research with everything from pigeons and doves to cats and dogs. Florence has been featured on NPR (National Public Radio) several times as their dog expert as well as the focus of many newspaper and magazine articles about Therapy Dog work and Animal Behavior. The Tail Wagger's Clubs main focus is on family dog obedience, but Florence is also partnered with Paws with a Cause, a service dog training agency based in Michigan. She trains dogs to perform very specialized behaviors that help create independence in the lives of people with disabilities. Your dog too can learn some of these unique skills with time and patience! Florence started The Tail Wagger's Club to help people learn how to train their dogs and bridge the gap between canine and human behavior. A well-trained dog understands what is expected of him and will therefore make a much happier, healthier family member. Too many dogs are hit by cars each year because they do not know the simple, but very important COME command. We can work together to ensure that your dog will remain safe and healthy for many years to come. Florence's focus is positive. If training is not fun, something is wrong! When we reinforce animals for behavior that is appropriate, that behavior continues and unwanted behaviors begin to disappear. Training can be very simple. It just takes time and commitment from the human part of the team! Florence is a certified pet dog trainer (CPDT), owns and certifies Therapy Dogs, is a member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers (APDT), and an evaluator for the American Kennel Club (AKC). |
