I am very aware that each dog is unique and may require a tailored approach based on their individual needs, temperament, and personality. I understand the importance of observing and understanding canine body language and can recognize signs of stress, fear, or discomfort in dogs. I approach dog training with enthusiasm, patience, and a strong desire to help dogs and their owners establish a positive and harmonious relationship. I understand the importance of using positive reinforcement techniques, such as rewards and praise, to motivate dogs and encourage good behavior. Additionally, I recognize the significance of consistency, clear communication, and establishing trust between yourself and the dogs I work with.

Prelude Dog Kennels - David Swartwood has a severe anger issues, he does not conduct himself in a…read moreprofessional manner. His way of training dogs is with treats, this is fine if your dog goes for treats. There is no benefit if your dog will not work for treats. You pay for a 6 week course and your informed after the 3rd week, that he is away for a week, pick up your "homework", so it is really a 5 week course. It is my opinion that David Swartwood should not be allowed around people or dogs until he gets his anger issues figured out and is able to control himself. Plus, there was no bathroom to use at this facility, no running water for dog, and you are put in a large dome with no air movement. It is extremely hot for your dog and for people. I do not suggest training in this place.

He was a rescue from a hoarding situation and apparently had never been trained to do anything, but when SMS sent the first video to my phone all we could say was, "Is that our dog!?"
