Positive, Scientific, & Compassionate Dog Training
Seattle, WA
Connecting Dogs and Their People
Meet Jennifer Borges Foster, VSA-CT, FDM
My journey with animal training began over 30 years ago with horses and dogs. Over the years, training practices have changed for the better as science has uncovered the long-term benefits of positive reinforcement and aversive-free methods.
This progress aligns with what I have believed for most of my life: Clear communication and compassionate care is the key to building healthy relationships with our animals.
My Philosophy
As it turns out, most of us desire to understand and be understood. Our dogs are no different. I believe that learning how your dog communicates and how best to communicate with your dog can be transformational to training practices. As a R+ (positive reinforcement) trainer, I have seen the power of creating relational change with our dogs through trust and compassion - the. benefits of this change are crucially important for everything from loose leash walking and separation anxiety cessation to obedience work and agility training.
