Dawn Jecs was one of the Prison Pet Partnership creators, a founding member, and the executive director for eight years. She also selected and directed the training of the first official "Seizure Alert Dog" training program anywhere in the world. Dawn's program and program supporters were instrumental in lobbying successfully for the passage of Washington State's Dog Law giving disabled persons the right to have a service dog in public places. This program became the certifying agency for service dogs in Washington state.

Dawn has designed this training program for competitive obedience emphasizing proofing from the start and off-leash novice exercises using positive reinforcement. Using step by step instructions and photos, it gives you the tools to build a solid foundation.
