Dogs are amazing!You might want a well-mannered companion, or perhaps your goal is a Service dog or to handle a Search and Rescue K9 hero. Whatever you envision with your dog, it always starts with training and love. (Dogs are easy to love. Owners can be hard to train.) Successful training happens when owners understand how dogs learn. (How to talk "dog".) Then, the dog learns to understand what his owner wants. When everyone speaks the same language, learning becomes fun... and faster and so much easier!I'm a firm believer that dogs prefer rewards to punishment, so I don't use aversive training methods. My goal is to enhance and advance the bond people share with their dogs. I never want a dog to associate pain with learning, a trainer or his owner.I love every stage of dog training, from socialization and puppy manners, to highly specialized working dogs. The moment a new dog first responds to a command is pure magic. We've just opened the door to communicating, understanding and learning together.I believe the bond we'll have with our dog begins with training. It might be teaching house rules to your new puppy. Or perhaps it's a Service Dog for a child on the autism spectrum. Maybe you andyour dog want to be a K9 Search and Rescue (K9 SAR) team and find missing people. Dogs provide a world of opportunities and possibilities...and most importantly...LOVE.Working with scent detection dogs is my passion. I've trained and handled SAR Dogs since 2002. We rescue and recover missing people on land and underwater, saving lives or bringing closure in emergencies or disasters.I've also taught dogs to alert on the scent of specific human cancers, detectable in urine samples, in several medical research studies. The dogs had astounding accuracy.When you realize the impact your dog can have on lives, it's pretty awe-inspiring.I've held the leash as my dog led me to missing children. I've watched as my dog searched a city demolished by a tornado, alerting when he detected the remains of a buried victim. I've been in a boat with my dog as he searched a river for a drowning victim, waiting for him to touch his nose to the water, indicating the search was over.Everything starts with training! It opens the door to understanding your Incredible, Amazing DOG!!

Creating the next Great Dog. Training your dog while funding a future service dog! You have a Good Pet, I want you to have a Good Dog. Training your Task Trained Service Dog, your helpful Therapy Dog, or your beloved Pet. Summer’s Dogs is a proud and brand new 501c3 Nonprofit in the state of Arkansas for providing, breeding, and training of task trained service dog for disabled people under the American disabilities act With my training you are gaining my support and knowledge not only during lessons, but with at-home issues as well (House training as an example). My training methods focus on encouraging behaviors. This is great for dogs who have high food or toy drive. and to build a strong bond and loyalty. The dog learns to respect you. Dogs crave structure, a job, and a leader, through my training methods dogs learns all this. I don’t want to only train your dog, I want to help you train your dog. Your dog may respect me, but if they don’t respect you training can be pointless. Through this form of training your dog will live a happier life, and you will have a less stressful dog. You have a Good Pet, I want you to have a Good Dog.
