Fala is a 10 month old lab mix and has a TON of energy.  We had trouble with everything - sitting, staying, down - the only thing she was good at before Kindred Souls was sitting before eating.   <\/p>\n<p>She now walks nicely on a leash, sits when I stop, sits on command, lies down on command. We still have some work to do, but the step by step guidance in the classes as well as the clear homework instructions have helped us with Fala so much.<\/p>\n<p>She is so well behaved now - we went to another puppy class at another place and Fala was the worst behaved dog in the class - the tools we were given weren't working for us.   After this class I feel we have a great foundation - it takes some work but it is well worth it!<\/p>\n<p>I highly recommend this center and will be looking at other classes once we finish the Basic Obedience.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sc_testimonial_author\"><span class=\"sc_testimonial_author_name\">Jennifer J.<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><div class=\"swiper-slide\" data-style=\"width:100%;\" style=\"width:100%;\">\t\t\t<div id=\"sc_testimonials_1533663951_3\" class=\"sc_testimonial_item\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sc_testimonial_content\"><p>It's all about the dog. Good manners and pet safety are the foundation of their program. The trainers here teach you how to communicate with your pet to nurture a mutually respectful and loving relationship with your dog. From large dominant breeds to frightened submissive rescued pets, each animal is given the same set of expectations and each owner is taught how to manage their particular pet's needs. Over the past 12 years, 4 of my dogs have passed through the Kindred Souls program and I recommend them to anyone who asks.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sc_testimonial_author\"><span class=\"sc_testimonial_author_name\">Timothy H.<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><div class=\"sc_slider_controls_wrap\"><a class=\"sc_slider_prev\" href=\"#\"><\/a><a class=\"sc_slider_next\" href=\"#\"><\/a><\/div><div class=\"sc_slider_pagination_wrap\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>[vc_row][vc_column]<!-- #TRX_GAP_START# --><!-- #TRX_GAP_END# -->[vc_text_separator title=&#8221;Instructional Series &#8211; Puppy Principles&#8221; i_icon_fontawesome=&#8221;fas fa-book&#8221; i_color=&#8221;green&#8221; color=&#8221;green&#8221; add_icon=&#8221;true&#8221;]<div id=\"sc_blogger_1080106932\" class=\"sc_blogger layout_accordion template_accordion sc_accordion sc_blogger_horizontal no_description\"><div class=\"sc_blogger_descr sc_item_descr\">Pete\u2019s Puppy Principles is a three part series discussing how to leverage a puppy\u2019s instinctive behaviors as part of your pet\u2019s training regimen.<\/div>\t\t<div class=\"post_item sc_blogger_item sc_accordion_item\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<h5 class=\"post_title sc_title sc_blogger_title sc_accordion_title\"><span class=\"sc_accordion_icon sc_accordion_icon_closed icon-plus\"><\/span><span class=\"sc_accordion_icon sc_accordion_icon_opened icon-minus\"><\/span>Pete&#8217;s Puppy Principles &#8211; Part 1<\/h5>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"post_content sc_accordion_content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"post_descr\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>This is one of the most important principles in teaching your puppies behavior.

Born in Brooklyn, NY, he has trained dogs all across the country \u2013 originally in California, then Florida and now NJ. He owns and operates Kindred Souls Canine Center in Howell, NJ. Pete donates a great deal of his time to rescues and shelters, in addition to his own practice. Through so many years of working with mixed breeds, identifying mix breeds and the pure breed components that go into each one, Pete has specialized skills in this area of finding the individuality in each dog. It is his opinion that the key to successful training and communication with your dog, is to get to know who that dog is.<\/p>\n<p>Pete created the concept of using \u201cmindfulness\u201d when interacting with your dog. Mindfulness is an ancient process of staying \u201cin the moment\u201d. Since dogs are programmed to live in the moment, so should we when we communicate. This has been successful in dealing with most behavior issues like aggression, fear and anxiety issues, plus optimizing most every day communication with your dog.<\/p>\n<p>Pete is founder of \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ksk9.com\/forgotten-pets-project\/\">The Forgotten Pet Project<\/a>\u201d to benefit all rescue<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1598 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ksk9.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/FPP1-1024x682-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/> organizations and the dogs\/cats in need.<\/p>\n<p>Pete makes TV appearances giving lectures on canine behavior and has had numerous articles published on dogs.
