Linda Dear - Trainer

Linda teaches Tricks&Games and Freestyle Fun Programs 

Linda enjoys finding ways to have fun with her dogs and was inspired by the positive training methods used when she started taking classes at DOGSmart Training with her current dogs as 
puppies.  She continues to learn about releasing the potential of dogs through cutting edge training and communication methods which are backed by behavioural science and research.  Linda strives to help others enjoy wonderful, joyful and respectful relationships with their dogs.  

Linda loves sharing experiences with her dogs as they continue to take classes, attend agility fun matches, try activities like herding, and just play around and have a good time at home.  She shares her life with her husband and their dogs Jetta, Tuvia, Sam and Owen.
