Behavior Talk 014: Leslie Nelson




Behavior Talk show

Summary: This is the last in our special APDT episodes of Behavior Talk. Today's episode of Behavior Talk features an interview with Leslie Nelson. Leslie Nelson is the owner and training director at Tails-U-Win!® Canine Center, LLC in Manchester, CT. She oversees over 50 classes a week and a staff of more than 30 instructors and assistants. Leslie has a degree in education and has been teaching classes since 1973. She has lectured extensively, written many articles and booklets, and is featured in the videos "The Power of Positive Training' and "Proof Positive." Our conversation covered some of her APDT seminar topics, including building a recurring customer base and, as her conference closing presentation was called, "Walking The Walk." We also talked about making money as a professional dog trainer, and how to learn to read and motivate owners as well as you do the dogs.
