My name is Anne Hudson, CDBC. I am a Certified Dog Behavior Consultant and a charter member of IAABC, the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants. I am a charter professional member of APDT, the Association of Pet Dog Trainers, an international organization promoting positive reinforcement and operant conditioning training, gentle handling, and education among veterinarians and dog professionals and an AKC evaluator for the Canine Good Citizen test.

In addition, I am one of the founding members of Canine Outreach, a Fayette County, GA based therapy dog organization whose caring members and canines visit nursing homes, hospitals, hospices, schools, etc. and also am an evaluator for Therapy Dogs, Inc, an international therapy dog organization.

We know that an educated puppy is likely to grow up to be a good canine citizen and a joy to his family. He is easier for veterinary staff to handle and more likely to be a patient into his geriatric years.

The latest studies in animal behavior show that early education is the key to producing well-adjusted pets with sound temperaments. FunPups' FREE Puppy HeadStart classes are designed to build the confidence of young dogs and teach them a few basic obedience commands, socialization skills, bite inhibition, and manners in a positive, gentle manner (we suggest 9-10 weeks as the very best time to begin classroom training).
