Tracy Ziolkoski's Profile Have you ever thought, "What am I doing so wrong?" and can't shake that helpless feeling? That was what lead my partner Mike and I to Brad. Rowdie, our 4yr old jack, was out of control and had bitten both of us; drawing blood. She was also lunging and biting every dog she came across.  We were at a loss with what to do with her. I had tried other training methods including treats to no avail. I could not find anyone who could or would help us. No one seemed to care about my dog or me. After attending Brads seminar, meeting his CET's, getting some awesome advice and techniques, and seeing results we never thought possible, like Rowdie making dog friends and playing with them, I decided that this was what I wanted to do. I wanted to educate other owners so they would no longer feel helpless like I had. Now that I am a CET, my thought is "If only I knew then what I know now"; my relationships with my other dogs could have been so much stronger. The bond that I have with Rowdie and Taff is amazing! I now strive to educate other owners and their dogs to create that same bond with their dogs. Brad always says "Be surprised when your dog does something wrong not when it does something right." That is an awesome motto and one I have immersed myself in because as I have learnt from 3 very special people, it’s so very important when working with your dog not to put all one’s negative stuff out there, but to live in the now with your dog not in the past with how the dog used to be!
