About Your Next Favourite Dog Trainer Behaviourist
Jason Smith - Optimum Canine
I have always had an obsession with animals, particularly dogs, since a very early age. Whilst a toddler, I would often pretend to be a dog - to my parents embarrassment. I would run around on all fours, I would try to lick people's faces, and the most embarrassing behaviour was "cocking my leg" on all fours, pretending to wee up objects; and legs.
My parents should have sorted the advice of a behaviourist, instead they decided to get a dog. Their understanding was caring for a dog would stop me pretending to be one.
This backfired on them tremendously. Now they had a GSD cross Collie and a small toddler to train. We would both go around together; barking, digging, and "cocking our legs" up things.
