The study of animal behavior is not an exact science.   We can never really know, for example, what our pets are thinking or feeling in any situation.   All we can do is look at how they they respond to things that happen to and around them.   We look for clues in the way a dog holds his ears or the dilation of a cat's pupils, a stiff tail or contented purr.   We study these clues as we would a map, hopefully getting to what they're telling us.

Behavior researchers are making discoveries every day about brain development, how pets learn and even whether pets have the ability to understand concepts like love and generosity.   In some ways, science is finding ways to prove what pet owners have known all along.

So it IS a science, but it is also an art, as trainers are challenged to find new ways to solve problems and gain insight, and we learn something new every time we make the effort to look at things from a four-legged point of view.

The Fur Fixes philosophy centers on continuous education for trainers as well as clients.   You will always receive the best and latest positive training techniques available from a professional pet trainer who listens to and addresses your individual concerns.
