Over the past six years, I've worked with dogs of all breeds and backgrounds in everywhere from a shelter environment to inside the homes of Beacon Hill.  I've taught many hundreds of Bostonians how to guide their dogs to good behavior in a gentle and effective way using positive reinforcement training techniques. We will talk about the importance of socialization and how to ensure that the dog is raised with good manners in public and at home.

Why is the class free?
My full time job is as a family therapist here in Boston. I'm finally adding a puppy to my family this August- a Miniature Goldendoodle. I'm going to train my pup to be a therapy dog that can work with the individuals of my therapy practice. To do that, I need a community of puppy lovers to help socialize my pup! Dog training is my hobby and passion, and I'd be very grateful if you committed to a class.

Sincerely,
Aspen McCulley, MS MHC
