Kyra Sundance - world acclaimed Stunt Dog Team performer, looks beyond sterile training methods that manipulate a dog solely through reward and punishment, and instead advocates humane behavior modification techniques which don't involve intimidation nor escalating corrections. Kyra's principles such as "One Command, One Consequence," and "Focus on the Solution, Not the Problem," empower listeners with a clear training strategy and the tools and knowledge to enact real change. . . . . . . . Kyra's method does not suppress behavior and teach subservience. It instead fosters confident, happy dogs who are motivated to do the right thing rather than fearful of making a mistake. Kyra shows us how to develop joyful relationships with dogs who balance enthusiasm and self-control. . . . . . . . KYRA SUNDANCE'S world-acclaimed acrobatic Stunt Dog Team has performed on The Tonight Show and Ellen, starred in Disney's Underdog stage show, and starred in a command performance for the King of Morocco.
