Notes from a Crossover Trainer

Notes from a Crossover Trainer

Sébastien Larabée, CPDT-KA, co-owns bravofido.com and has been working as a dog trainer and behaviour consultant for approximately 8 years. He was not always using modern, reward-based methods. Originally he was trained to use methods that were unpleasant to the dogs he worked with but made a conscious decision to change and evolve. How did he get to that point? What are the challenges of making those changes?
