PAWS-ABILITES

My name is Dirza Dittberner and I started Paws-Abilities Training and Counseling in 1999. My involvement with dog training and dog and cat behavior counseling began while I was volunteering at a San Francisco Bay Area animal shelter. While there I was overwhelmed by the number of wonderful pets that were being relinquished to the shelter... Most of these animals lost their homes and often their lives simply due to a lack of understanding and communication. The people did not understand their pets and the animals did not understand what their owners wanted... Since then my goal has been to help people form loving and lasting relationships with their dogs and cats through understanding and communication.
