Larry Stevenson's interests in helping people as a crisis intervention worker/ trainer and research technician has blended well with his interest in helping dogs and their owners understand their relationship using force free techniques.
Of particular interest to Larry is what he calls "Dog Livability". "Dog Livability" in Larry's relationship with dogs is how well any particular dog fits in with their family. Every family or dog owner and dog has individual needs in the relationship. These needs are best served when the dog and owner needs compliment one another.
