Along the way Louise became fascinated by
dog training techniques which are based on learning theory,
and which utilise the clicker as a training tool - even
though most field trialers at that time used the more
traditional methods of training.

"The
more I work with dogs and their owners, the more I believe
that education can lead to greater understanding of dogs as
a species and in doing so create a relationship based on
mutual respect"
