    Suzanne Clothier Sees the HEART Of Kansas City Positive Dog Trainers

    HEARTland Positive Dog Training Alliance hosted award winning author and pioneering animal behaviorist Suzanne Clothier for two wonderful days of lecture and hands-on workshop on October 17 & 18.  Through stories, videos and masterful demonstrations, Clothier taught the importance and techniques of patiently and accurately observing a dog’s actual behavior, assessing environmental and physical factors that might be influencing that behavior, and only then prescribing a behavior plan.  On Day 2, she worked with 4 dogs to demonstrate techniques for assessing behavior and as case studies for behavior modification techniques. 

    While HEART members learned much from Suzanne, we were humbled and heartened by Suzanne’s own words about her time with us in Kansas City, and she graciously agreed to have her Facebook post shared here.
