Join host Robert Forto as he welcomes certified canine trainer, Kim Paciotti to Dog Works Radio. On this show we talk about Kim’s renowed puppy training program that she calls the Empowered Puppy Program. This is unlike any other dog training program in the country.
Bio:
Kim Paciotti is the owner of Training Canines, LLC, and the founder of the Empowered Puppy Program. After a career as a professional chef for over twenty years, her desire to “get out of the kitchen” led her to follow her heart and pursue a long held passion for training dogs.
Training school, online classes, books, lectures, and volunteering at rescues, led to the certifications she holds today. She found that instead of trying to “fix” the behavior, the key is to teach dogs how to understand our world, and let them know we understood theirs.
While volunteering at the rescue, Kim saw many puppies and dogs being surrendered. These were good dogs, and many times the owners just did not know how to communicate with them. Knowing something had to change, she started from the beginning, focusing on early puppy development. Consistent research it soon became clear that early development of a puppy’s mind during the first 16 weeks of their life is the key. The Empowered Puppy Program is designed to develop a happy and healthy dog for life.
