My dog, Rosie, a golden-doodle, and I have been in several of Cindy's classes. Her main technique is to reward good behavior with treats and praise. Yesterday my dog passed the AKC Canine Good Citizen test. She now qualifies for "Therapy Dog" training. I am grateful to Cindy and the training she provided to make this possible.
