Three famed dog behaviorists are pictured here (L-R) Jeff Morgan, Cesar Millan and Cheri Lucas. All of them use“calm-assertive energy”techniques to train dogs. Jeff Morgan will be in Grand Marais and Grand Portage for a week working with Delayne Duhaime of Grand Portage who aspires to be a dog behaviorist.
Delayne Duhaime of Grand Portage is a great fan of the National Geographic Channel television show Dog Whisperer Cesar Millan. So much so, that she is considering pursuing a career as a dog behaviorist. Working toward that goal, Duhaime contacted Millan, who referred her to one of his colleagues, Jeff Morgan. Morgan is coming to Cook County to offer Duhaime some training. She is excited about his visit and she is offering others the opportunity to also learn more.
According to their website, Jeff and Yael Morgan are the owners and directors of Howlywood Dog Behavioral and Vacation Center in Ra’anana, Israel, which they opened in 2006. They’ve treated and rehabilitated some dogs considered to be “worst-case.”
They have also helped countless others overcome the most common behavioral problems that so many dog owners suffer from today. Jeff and Yael are considered to be among Israel’s most elite canine behavior experts. They relocated to Newtown, Connecticut in 2013.
The Morgans work with animals using much the same “calm-assertive energy” philosophy as Cesar Millan.
The Morgans coined the term “Conscious Dog Training.”
Their theories can be found in the book they authored Happy Dog 101: 101+1 Tips for Raising a Happy Dog, which comes highly recommended by Cheri Lucas, a renowned dog behaviorist at the Second Chance Love Humane Society, a no-kill shelter that has found homes for 3,000 dogs.
Of the book, Lucas wrote, “No one, and I mean no one, leaves my office without a copy of Jeff and Yael Morgan’s comprehensive guide to raising a dog or puppy. Happy Dog 101 addresses every principle of dog behavior in a concise, clear way that resonates with both adults and children.”
Community members—and their dogs—are invited to meet Morgan and learn more about the techniques that the Morgans use. There will be a dog socialization gathering at the Cook County Community Center in Grand Marais. People and dogs are invited to join a “pack walk.”
Dog owners with pets with behavioral problems may also have the chance for one-on-one sessions with Jeff Morgan.
To learn more about the socialization gathering or to schedule a session, contact Delayne Duhaime at (218) 475-2734 or find Delayne on Facebook.
