Virginia Dunlap

Virginia has been involved with dogs for a great many years both in breeding and training.

Virginia is currently training at a local Portland Pet Store, teaching basic obedience.  Her particular area of interest is in dog behavior.  She has trained under Canine Companion for Independence founder Bonnie Bergin, Sapier Weiss and Trish King, Director of Marin Humane Society (CA).

She is constantly updating her knowledge to keep abreast of current methods.  However, that being said, she has noted that rewards, steady corrections
and lots of love and enthusiasm usually work the best!  She believes that dogs are intelligent beings and knows that they learn in much the same way that humans do.

Virginia has been active in German Shepherd Rescue of Northern California and an all-breed rescue, Wing and a Prayer.  She is very aware of the fate of too many abandoned and abused canines.  Thus her goal is to teach responsible ownership starting with well-trained dogs.
