Hi, I'm Debbie Schaefer, owner of The Well-Mannered Dog, LLC! I started training dogs in 1974. In 1987, a local veterinarian suggested the community would benefit from classes geared towards the average pet owner addressing their real-life issues. That was the beginning of The Well-Mannered Dog, LLC, located in Eugene, Oregon. I place a high priority on getting to know each client so I can respect each dog and owner as individuals with unique thoughts, values and experiences. I strive to provide dogs and owners with an environment that is friendly, respectful, fun and embraces individuality in order to enhance each owners learning experience. I use dynamic, humane methods that employ the use of operant conditioning, classical conditioning and relationship enhancement education. Owner
