Norma Jeanne

In 1992, Norma Jeanne opened the
first positive reinforcement
training facility in the
Tri-Cities/Guelph area. With every other training school
using physical punishment, Norma
Jeanne pioneered a better way
for you and your dog.
Graduates of Puppy Power
performed with the same
excellence and precision as
graduates from the other
schools, the big difference was
they also performed with wagging
tails. These training
schools are now closed and
replaced by graduates of Norma
Jeanne's Canine Communication
Studies certification course for
professional dog training and behaviour therapy.
Norma Jeanne is a teacher,
author, lecturer, columnist,
mentor trainer for the Animal
Behaviour College of California,
Founder and Chair of the
International Positive Dog
Training Association, member and
former editor for the Canadian
Association of Professional Pet
Dog Trainers. Dog trainers
have come from as far away as
Italy to study with Norma
Jeanne, and she has counseled
clients as far as China.
She has taught over 100 dog
trainers in 3 countries, 9
provinces and 15 states,
including trainers teaching
classes in 10 training
facilities across KW, Cambridge
and Guelph. Norma Jeanne
continues to upgrade her skills
numerous times per year, to
ensure state of the art tools
and techniques are available for
you and your dog, as well as her
professional students and
graduates.

WARNING: clients who do not pick

This course offers the most fun you
can have training your dog and
without a doubt, there is no better
trained dog than a freestyle
dog! Using a combination of training
cues and tricks, you will learn to
work with your dog as a team, as
well as the rest of your class as a
group, to perform a choreographed
routine to music. For those
who would like to take it a step
further, you are welcome to join our
freestyle team after graduation, to
learn new moves, create a customized
performance of your own, and perform
at public events with the rest of
the team.

WHAT
EVERY DOG OWNER AND DOG TRAINER
SHOULD KNOW
IPDTA Founder & Chair Norma Jeanne
discusses the
controversial debate of positive
reinforcement vs. positive
punishment.
"Because it has been proven that
fear inhibits one's ability to
learn, remember and make correct
choices, because fear accounts for
97% of dog bites, and because there
are so many humane and effective
alternatives, I believe there is no
need or excuse for the use of fear
or pain in dog training!" Norma
Jeanne
