Barbara followed the teachings of the late Job Michael Evans (Monks of New Skete) and continues to use many of his techniques. In 1987, Barbara attended the Volhard Motivational Method Dog Training Camp and Instructor School with Patience and has been using the Volhard Method ever since. Even though Barbara has many tools to draw from, she finds her students to be the most successful with the Volhard Motivational Method, but will draw from these other tools when needed.                                                                                                                      In 1994, a male Doberman Pinscher, "Bronson" entered Barbara's life.  Bronson became Barbara's first AKC competition dog.  Together they received AKC titles of Companion Dog and Companion Dog Excellent.  Bronson also worked along side Barbara in her pet training business, and did his share of television commercials, music  videos and print ads.  Bronson passed away on May 4, 2007.   In Memory of Bronson.
