Free Seminar: Dog Trainer Sam Wike at Hotel For Dogs

Middletown, NJ – June 10, 2011 – Hotel for Dogs will be hosting a seminar with Victoria Stilwell Positively Dog Trainer Sam Wike on Friday June 10, 2011 at 7:00pm at their facility, 152 Magnolia Lane Middletown, NJ 07748.

Sam Wike, retired police K9 handler and certified professional dog trainer, has been successfully using relationship based, positive reinforcement techniques to help dogs overcome basic obedience challenges as well as complex behavioral issues such as fear, dog & human reactivity, abuse and neglect, and what most people mistakenly refer to as 'aggression'. The Victoria Stilwell Positively Dog Training (VSPDT) technique encourages dogs to follow commands because they want to and not out of fear. This technique was created by renowned dog trainer, author and Animal Planet TV-star Victoria Stilwell, who hand selects every VSPDT trainer.

Sam is amazing at what he does and will be discussing the ways in which dogs communicate. This seminar will prove to be an excellent opportunity to ask questions and learn more about how pets interact with each other and with their owners.
