New York Times Articled Dated December 27, 2007 Cites the Rise of "a Chorus of Dog Whisperers" – People Wanting to Become Dog Trainers

Houston, TX, January 04, 2008 --(PR.com)-- “Dog training is a skill set that continues to develop the trainer, says Burwell. With each dog you train you gain knowledge; with each owner you help to better understand what dogs need in order to be balanced, you become a better communicator; with each dog you help stay in their forever home you become more than just a dog trainer, you become someone the client respects and trusts. The best way to stand out from the crowd in your dog training expertise is to start with a solid foundation."

Jim Burwell’s Petiquette teaches entrepreneurs with a passion for dogs, to be exceptional dog trainers using the “Burwell Method”; a positive reinforcement training system developed over 25 years of training. Burwell explains, “There are no gimmicks, only sound, mainstream handling techniques. We teach our franchisees a clear understanding of what makes dogs behave in the way they do and how they can help owners go about fixing that behavior while we also educate the owners on the appropriate and positive way to have a peaceful, rewarding, enduring relationship with their dog.

“It is truly rewarding to help people with a passion for dogs fulfill their dream and turn it into a rewarding career. As we always say, Opportunity Barks!”
