AT THE END OF YOUR LEASH ?
ABOUT THE TRAINER
Rick Begun is a Certified Professional Dog Trainer and a graduate of the world recognized National K-9 Training Academy. He has been specializing in behavior management and obedience for nearly thirty years. Rick's first exposure to formal training began in Viet Nam, while stationed with a sentry-dog unit. Upon returning to the Washington, DC area, he obedience trained his first German Shepherd under the guidance of Bob and Janice Ward, certified professional dog trainers. Through years of hobby training, research and personal experience Rick became a professional trainer and developed a system for connecting with dogs. They respond to him almost immediately, and he will teach you what you need to know to do the same for your dog. He will also make sure you have a chance to apply what you are learning throughout the process.
