Who is the SDSF Dog Trainer

The SDSF Dog Trainer works with subjects of developmental age to foster the growth of an adaptive personality capable of finding gratification in its social and relational integration. The task of the SDSF Dog Trainer is to provide individual advice to the owner, who, not having a culture linked to ethology, easily tends to attribute to his dog human behaviour or human charachters that result in inappropriate behaviour that is detrimental to wellbeing and coexistence. The SDSF Dog Trainer is the first behaviourist aid that assists the owner in setting up the relationship with the dog correctly in the daily routine, such as eating, walking or playing.
