      I like her training methods — positive reinforcement, no negative “punishment.” But, she’s not the first to suggest this, nor necessarily the best. I definitely felt that the “Tao” part was an merely added as an attempt to set her “style” apart from others — a superfulous & poorly integrated attempt in my opinion. Was a waste of my money; we’ve been training for 3 years.
