My name is Buddy Cummings and I have been training dogs for over 30 years.  I am certified as an instructor with the Animal Behavioral Training Associates.  Here is a short list of my history:

* obedience instructor for the Cleveland Kennel Club in the 1970's
* taught classes at Cleveland State Community College
* taught classes at Petco
* shown and trained in AKC trials for CD, CDX and UD degrees. 
* assisted in obedience training for
      - the Rescue Squad
      - individual police officers
      - handlers of service dogs
* helped train service dogs for the blind and deaf individuals
* been referred by local veterinarians for behavioral  
    modification in certain  situations.

I offer group as well as private lessons.  Group classes are seven weeks in length and last approximately one hour per session.  New classes begin each month.  Private lessons are at an agreed upon time.  If you have questions regarding classes or individual problems, my phone number is (423) 472-1827.  I look forward to hearing from you.  References are readily available.
