A word from Jeremy:
Hello friends, thank you for visiting my personal page and reading my bio. I have spent many years training dogs and always try to learn more so that I can be the best! I have sought out some of the best trainers to meet, train with, and learn from. One of the things I love the most about training is that it is subjective, therefore, leaving room for creativity and advancement. I truly feel that dog training is an art form, and our canvas is very unique because it is alive. I am very proud of my bio and all of the things I have accomplished. I am very excited for 2010! I am positive there will be very exciting things happening for me and the company. I believe strongly that networking is an integral key to success, both personally and professionally. Therefore, please feel free to contact me and ask any questions you might have.
Thank you,
Jeremy Talamantes
A word from Stephanie:
'Training your dog is not an option, it's a responsibility.' Training will strengthen the relationship between you and your dog and more importantly, can save his life. One of the most common problems I run into as a professional trainer is helping the client understand their relationship with their dog. This is because most people confuse love with respect. Yes, your dog may love you alot, but that does not mean he respects you. If you can get your dog to respect you, he will love you 100 times more. A good leader is respected AND loved. Respect is never earned by being unfair or brutal... it is also never earned by catering to bad behavior or feeling badly about enforcing the rules. Being a good leader is about being fair and consistant while setting a good example. If you understand this, your beloved companion will be faithful and loyal till the end.
Thank you,
Stephanie O'Brien
Unqualified Dog Trainers-
Southern California is saturated with wannabe unqualified trainers, ones that are either way to hard on dogs and destroy their character, or ones that are way too soft on dogs and can never achieve results that a responsible dog owner will naturally seek. Too often we are called by dog owners that have spent way too much money with trainers that make excuses and can't take their dog to a level of training that is needed for them to happily co-exist with their canine friend. It is important to have the experience, knowledge, and skill to be able to train any dog, any breed, any age, any size, any temperament.
A trainer should be calm and steady, always predictable and fair. One of the primary goals of a good trainer should always be to build the dog's character. A positive trainer will never get emotional and project his personal feelings onto the dog. A trainer should always make decisions based primarily on what is best for the dog to understand what is being asked from him so that he can be allowed the opportunity to learn.
Please view the links below and read the bios of Jeremy Talamantes and Stephanie O'Brien. Feel free to call us so that we can discuss your current situation and put together a program that will get you to where you need to be with your dog.
