Session 1: Deaf, blind and totally amazing!
I am Director of Dog Talent Association, a company that provides Trick Training and assessment of Trick Dog Titles.
We also run the prestigious International Trick Dog Competition, that traditionally attacts top talent worldwide.
I have been training tricks to dogs, cats, chickens, hamsters, horses and even fish and praying mantis since I was a child. Even when I went to medical school and then became an emergency medicine doctor I continued training animals in my free time.
Trick training is truly specal because it is one of the best ways to develop deeper understading and bond with any animal.
I very much enjoy training tricks to dogs, helping to establish strong positive bond between dogs and their owners and discover and develop every dog's talent.
You can find me enjoying life and adventures with my two super dogs Bonnie and Simba on Instagram @SpanielBonnie
Bonnie is Dog Parkour Champion and both Bonnie and Simba took part in several TV studio productions requiring very special level of dog balance and coordination skills.
