Personal Consultation

I have spent years studying and applying behavioral and cognitive psychology, especially the work of Pavlov, Skinner, Bandura, Cialdini, Thorndike, and Morrow. I examined how people and dogs interact, learn, and behave based on the person/dog interface and interaction in diverse environments. In the ideal human/dog relationship, the human and the dog become “one”. Most dog trainers get dogs to respond to them, but the dog owner is left out of the equation. These are the things conventional trainers do not want you to know.

What set’s the Dr. Pawsitive method apart is that I educate and train the humans to train their dogs. The human and the dog are trained simultaneously and I never touch the dog. The owner gets two for one because both the owner and dog are trained at the same time. Once you are educated and trained, you can apply what you have learned to any dog in just about any situation.

In 2005, after years of working with dog and dog owners, I established the Animal Intelligence Agency (AIA) and Canine Communication and Control (C3) in Hockley, Texas. The AIA is dedicated to understanding canine behavior and teaching people how to achieve communication and control with their animals. I discovered that by training humans simultaneously with their dogs, they could ultimately become “one spirit” creating a harmonious mutual relationship.

I am confident my methodology is the best based on the concept of training the human to think, act, and see the world from the dog’s perspective. I call this “Dr. Pawsitive’s DOGCHOLOGY.”
