"Henry Kissenger" Pug-fantastic

Henry Kissinger

I am Henry Kissinger, 4-month old brindle pug.  I began taking Fawn's Puppy I class at 11 weeks old, and when I entered the class I was ... well, untamed and running wild.  A pug puppy, need I say more.

Fawn immediately took me under her wing, and from the first class I fell so in love with her that just her presence makes me want to do my best in class.  In a short time I have (mostly) accomplished Sit, Down, Hand touching, Come, Enough, Watch, and lots of other useful information such as having my tail pulled and being interrupted during meals.  I am learning to pay closer attention to the people in my charge, and I also see my fellow statesmen settling down, performing their duties, and becoming the leaders they were born to be.

Fawn (and Tammy, who is also wonderful) also runs the weekly puppy socials for those who haven't been fully immunized.  The liasons have been priceless.  I, as do most, started off startled and shy, and in a short time I've learned diplomacy with big and small dogs.  I now know the ropes and can handle myself in most situations.  Fawn is always there, teaching us all about proper etiquette.  It's like she's the translator between my mind and the humans.  She knows what I'm going to do before I do.  And I hear her training my people as thoroughly as she's training me.

Fawn puts so much time in before class, after class for questions, and she also sends handouts each week with information about the skills we're to study.

I am unbelieveably happy that I stumbled upon this school, and upon Fawn.  We're going to take all the classes she teaches so I'm a true Ambassador to dogs and humans alike.  I would grant Fawn the Purple Heart if I could.

Yelp Review 3/22/2010

No doubt about it- Fawn Pierre, lead trainer at Smarty Pup,   has a
unique ability to help us to understand our dogs. As a veterinarian, I
attended one of her classes to learn about a different way to train my
new puppy and her methods and explanations on "the dogs mind" were a
tremendous insight. Almost any trainer can train your dog, but it takes a

"It is essential to understand and train dogs-as-dogs. They should be taught to respect people-as-people, and learn that people are always in control. It is possible to effectively establish control over a dog psychologically through trust and respect using intellect instead of intimidation."
