Canine Connection owner, Cindy Ludwig is proud to have been admitted to the Pet Professional Guild as a charter member - the first and only member to date in Iowa and the tri-state area. Pet Professional Guild members adhere to a strict code of ethical conduct and guiding principles of force-free animal training, which means that they do not use shock, pain, fear, physical force, physical molding, or compulsion based methods to train or care for pets.  Cindy and Opal returned to Loras College on January 18 to provide a presentation to communications students in a class on human/canine communication. Students learned how clicker training facilitates communication between trainer and animal and saw a demonstration of some of Opal's service dog tasks. One student even volunteered to let Opal pull his sock off, a task that Opal loves!  Opal pulls the sock off one of the students in class!
Cindy and Opal teamed up to do a presentation about positive reinforcement training for a group of scout explorers interested in learning more about the veterinary field and dog training.  Letter to the Editor of the Dubuque Telegraph Herald about breed legislation and service dogs1/8/2012
