Andrea Bratt Frick has a life long love of animals of all kinds. Clicker training utilizes her empathy and understanding of animals to create a uniquely effective method of communicating with them.
"I believe gentle, positive training methods create a beneficial partnership between animals and their owners."
Andrea is a member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers and an associate member of the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants. She teaches classes for recently adopted shelter dogs for DAWG and K9PALS. Her current interests are training shelter dogs to make them ore adoptable and coaching people to train their own assistance dogs. Andrea also volunteers at Bunnies Urgently Needing Shelter (BUNS) where she clicker trains shelter rabbits and teaches rabbit care and training classes. She was a guest speaker at ClickerExpo 2005 and presented a training demonstration at ClickerExpo 2006. Andrea expands her dog training knowledge by attending seminars and c ontinually searching out books and articles on animal training and behavior.. "Clicker training establishes a clear consistent method for communicating with dogs. Once they understand the meaning of the clicker it is remarkable how fast they learn and how eager they are to train. I can take your specific goals and create a custom training plan that meets the needs of you and your dog.
Our focus is on the family pet,be it a new puppy,purebred,rescue,or older dog. All are treated with respect and gentle reward based methods of training. We never use pinch collars,choke chains or electric training collars in our practice as we find them to be unnecessary. Please do not hesitate to ask for referrals.
