If you ever get a chance to go to one of the Collected Wisdom Dog Behavior Seminar hosted by MADACC it is well worth your time. I give it a 5/5.

It teaches how to communicate with your dog. Need I say more? I was just a beginner with dogs, but now I feel more comfortable bonding and training with them.

Plus the instructor, Heather Mohan-Gibbons, is one of the few Certified Applied Animal Behaviorist in the country.
