THE PET
PEEVES PHILOSOPHY
At Pet
Peeves Animal Training, Inc. we believe that "training should be enjoyed at
both ends of the leash". We utilize only positive methods
for training or behavior modification with your pet.
Great training starts with a great relationship. At Pet
Peeves Animal Training, we help you
understand the world from your pet's perspective. Knowing the
underlying motivation for your pet's behavior is key to teaching your pet new,
desirable behaviors while minimizing problem behaviors. We believe
that compassionate understanding is the foundation for shaping a trouble
free relationship with your pet. We believe your pet is an important
member of
your family and should be treated as such.

At Pet
Peeves Animal Training we believe that training should be a fun and
enjoyable experience for you, your family and your pet. We adamantly
oppose the harsh and archaic style of controlling your pet through physical force or
intimidation such as in the case of a dog using a
choke chain, pinch collar, or yelling at them. This traditional "train
by force" ideology is an unpleasant experience for everyone involved,
especially your pet, and never a good choice in ethical training. The
truth is, you should never have to intimidate your pet, physically
or emotionally, to train them.
At Pet Peeves Animal Training we believe that kindness counts and that
using physical force or intimidation is never a good choice in training
your best friend. Our animal behaviorist educates you to be the consistent,
compassionate, and responsible leader your pet can appreciate and
respond to happily.
We believe that positive training is a gift you give yourself and your
pet to promote a mutually rewarding lifetime relationship. We
whole-heartedly promote the use of positive reinforcement techniques in
training. We use toys, treats, verbal praise and gentle touch to teach
training "that's enjoyed at both ends of the leash".
Pet
Peeves Animal Training, Inc. is so committed to this philosophy of
training that we offer a written money back guarantee of our services.

People that know Wendy can attest to her special ability to understand
and communicate with animals. "It's incredible that the animals sense
the connection and respond to Wendy in amazing ways" comments Dr.
Stevens, one of Wendy's colleagues. As a child growing up in
Kansas, Wendy would spend hours studying any animal that she could get
her eyes on. She volunteered her time to train the animals at
local shelters that others had long given up on. Many of Wendy's clients refer to her as the real "Dr.
Doolittle" because of her uncanny ability to understand and communicate
with the animals. She has effectively worked with hundreds of dogs,
cats, horses, birds, and their owners over the last 19 years.
Wendy
is committed to teaching a style of training that enhances the bond
between the animal and its' human. She believes that training should be
good-natured and fun for all involved. "Training should be enjoyed at
both ends of the leash" is her guiding philosophy. Her Native American
heritage has taught her to work in harmony with all living creatures.
"You must first understand their (the animal's) nature and perspective before an effective bond
of trust and mutual respect can be developed" she says. She believes that "a
positive relationship is the foundation for all successful training and
behavior modification -we must go there first before we can go anywhere
else."

is the founder and owner of Pet Peeves Animal Training, Inc. a company
