I was looking for any kind of help I could get with my young, energetic Shih-Tzu. I never thought a twelve-pound dog could consistently take me for a "drag" around the neighborhood. Luckily I found The Cultured Canine! Diane, a Certified Pet Dog Trainer - yes there is such a thing and yes it actually matters, was able to teach Bono and me to take our four daily strolls in the neighborhood as joyful companions rather than tethered adversaries. Best of all, Bono's training was all carrot and no stick. It was a pleasure to learn how to make what had been daily chore into a daily pleasure. Diane was clear, concise, and unfailingly pleasant as she taught me enough about how a dog thinks that I could lovingly change my dog's behavior so he now walks with me instead of a strained leash length ahead of me. Hire her. Now.
