Summary

Diane Whitney’s passion is focused on improving the lives of dogs and their owners through humane, force-free behavior modification dog training methods. In her nearly 20 years as a canine behavior specialist and a pet dog training instructor, she has taught nearly 2,000 group classes and hundreds of private clients, using basic classical and operant conditioning. “When there's something inside of you that says, ‘I would really like to do that, but…,’ that’s where we start, with the ‘but.’ You have to stoke your own fire. Yes, we do need support from our friends and family, but we also need to be our own spark.”
