Jim has been training dogs all his life, but after retiring from the U.S. Air Force, (Field Medic), he started working with dogs in Behavior Modification, Dog Sports and in basic dog training skills.

But Pyro, one of Jim’s dogs has helped him learn more than any formal training class could ever do. Pyro is an Australian Shepherd, a herding breed, that has dog to dog issues, hyper anxiety levels and is hyper vigilant. Jim wanted to help him to live in our human world and in this effort he traveled, with Pyro throughout the U.S. working with some of the best trainers in the U.S.

Some of this training included your basic dog training techniques but also included:
*Dog working camps
*Clicker training
*Dog Communicators
*Dog Reiki sessions
*Holistic Methods (Food modifications)
*Massage and relaxation
*Dog Scootering
*Agility work
*Herding camp
…And more

Although Pyro is not cured he is now living comfortably in our human society and travels with Jim to Dog Scouts events, Dog Parks, seminars and more.

This experience can now help you with your dog

behavior and training needs.
