Training > Introduction

“Through the years I have taken several dog obedience courses. This is the method that works. Judy’s method is very simple and basic, and the results are wonderful.”
- Judy Kratky, dog owner

Year-round I work one-on-one with dogs and members of their families at my ranch, Wapiti Run, in Buena Vista, CO. I also conduct training clinics in Denver, CO once a month which include the same one-on-one training.

I can personally help you and your dog if you and your dog can spend just two days in my area or at a clinic location. All the instruction you and your dog need is accomplished in 5 sessions within those two days. I will work with the dog for about 10 minutes during each of the first two sessions, initiating Dialogue with the dog and introducing the exercises which will be the components of the Dialogue. Then I will be finished with the dog. I will begin teaching you my way of handling the dog during the second session and continue this teaching throughout the remaining sessions. If you come to Buena Vista, you’ll want to consider staying to explore some of the beauties of our valley, 8000 feet up in the central Rocky Mountains. Regardless of that, after just two days in Buena Vista or elsewhere, you can return to your home with an entirely new relationship with your dog. As you practice with your dog back at your home, I can answer any questions that arise either by phone or e-mail. And you are invited to share the story of your experience on this web site.
