Happy Valentine's Day!!!
May your day be filled with fun, laughter and lots of love!
And today, it's okay to hoard the chocolate, so long as it stays out of reach from our canine & feline friends. I can't imagine life without chocolate! Good thing I'm not a dog!
Picture Perfect Pets is the culmination of Bette Yip's life-long love for animals, & passion for photography and teaching.
Previously, Bette spent 5 years teaching English in immersion programs in Japan. This means that no Japanese could be used in lessons. Communicating solely in English with the aid of body language & props to teach students how to understand & use English has given Bette a unique perspective as a pet trainer. She has learned to communicate with those who cannot speak our language, which is a useful skill when dealing with animals. She has also learned to read & empathize with both her human & canine students in order to tailor teaching methods to their specific needs.
It's equally important for dog trainers to be good at training people to acquire skills needed to train their own pets. Through her work as a trainer of other instructors in Japan, Bette also fortified her skills as a people trainer, enabling her to more effectively teach clients their pets.
