Carrie's techniques are derived from several different methods, pulled together to provide a fun way to build a rock solid relationship between owner and dog. She focuses on peole having fun with their dogs by teaching them to play-train. She has accomplished this by designing an agility foundation class that consisted of games to teach reliability, focus and core-strength building.
