I work with your kind ...LOL!

Seriously though, my husband was a Quality Resident Engineer. I so appreciate that type of brain that always have a plan and follows through with everything. When I lead a team to create training for implementing an ERP system I looked for people like you!

Fixing problems that other people created in their dogs: 3 and 4 Since 1992.

I don't compete, I don't do sports, I take dogs that have either been created by someone somewhere to have issues genetically, or have been taught to have problems by people and their environments, and I try to undo that.

Specializing in fearful dogs and fear aggression with humans, and starting puppies out on the right paw.

Not proficient/level 2 in cases of dog aggression and some overall aggression. Also in "friendly dogs" and environments where dogs are pressed to be too close, too fast.

Pet Owner, no specialized training. Definitely Level 2. I know what to do, but have a hard time executing it.

Within the context of the things that I train dogs for (if that makes sense?) Level 3 or sometimes Level 4. I say Level 4 sometimes because often someone will ask me to break down how I trained this or that and there are times that I can't, or at least not without really thinking about it, b/c it's just second nature by now and just seems to *work* for my dogs. But for the most part, Level 3.

Maybe that is why we were butting heads over on the barking thread!!

LOL! Very well could be. Take that as a compliment though. One of the main reasons I married my husband was because he could hold his own in an arguement.

This.

I’m a Level 2 skill-level wise, but a Level 3+ implementing those skills. I do basic obedience with some back-yard agility thrown in (Level 2 – basically low degree of difficulty), but my guys respond quickly, eagerly, and almost automatically (Level 3+ in communicating my commands). If only I were younger – what I wouldn’t like to learn and try…

Ah well, if wishes were horses, then beggars would ride.
