Jack and Wendy Volhard, Motivational Method, dog training, holictic health care

For the past 30 years, the Volhards have taught dog owners how to communicate effectively with their pets. During this time they have developed the "Motivational Method", an approach to training for people who like their dogs, and who have them first and foremost as pets and companions. At the heart of the "Motivational Method" is the conviction that positive reinforcement is the most effective teaching tool.

Jack and Wendy Volhard have written eight books and over 200 articles, produced four training videos.
Two of their books have been given the prestigious Best Care and Training Book award by the Dog Writers' Association of America, and between them they have seven awards from the DWAA. Their most recent book is Dog Training for Dummies.
The Volhards are also accomplished trainers and have obtained over 50 conformation and performance titles, multiple High in Trials and Dog World Awards of Canine Distinction with their German Shepherd, Labrador Retriever, Landseer Newfoundlands, Standard Wirehaired Dachshunds and Yorkshire Terrier.
The Volhards share their home with two Labrador Retrievers, a Landseer Newfoundland, one Standard Wirehaired Dachshund and a cat.

KATHARINA 3/28/88- 5/20/2002
	Each dog coming into our life teaches us so much. Then there are the "once in a lifetime" dogs. "Katherina-Shepherd Dog" lived her life with grace, helped many a puppy with pack etiquette, learned every obedience exercise with amazing speed, but most of all was a cherished companion who will be missed.
