Steve Estrada:
"'Gone to the Dogs' is a privately owned and operated business. It began in 1982, by Steve Estrada....
Fortunately, I was guided to Jean-Claude Balu's school in Fontana, California. Jean-Claude is a task master with years of experience working with service dogs and being a Schutzhund Trial Judge with the D.V.G. (Deutscher Verband der Gebrauchshundsportvereine) as well as a fierce competitor. He taught about training through the use of canine psychology; not method training, which can only serve a few. I was also introduced to Imprinting in puppies and how to redirect aggression. But most importantly, how to read and understand behavior.
I also worked for both private and commercial kennels, allowing me to experience many breeds including working with numerous rare breeds. I've experienced breeding, whelping and training a number of different breeds; working with all types of behavior. One thing that has always stuck with me is the best way to learn about dogs is to handle and experience everyone you are able....
I've been a member of U.S.A. (United Schutzhund Clubs of America); and the U.S.R.C. (United States Rottweiler Club). Also a previous office holder in both National and Regional dog clubs. I've been a Schutzhund Trial decoy and past Training Director for Heart Therapy Dogs International. I have been a guest speaker for many dog clubs, schools and television. I have been working full time at this profession twenty plus years and now reside in a bit of paradise in historical San Juan Capistrano....
I work with 'Charities Best', a local group that supports local charities. I am also past Docent at the Mission San Juan Capistrano and worked as a volunteer in the history and archives. I've also worked with A.R.F. (Animal Rescue Foundation of Dana Point) and F.O.S.C.A. (Friends of San Clemente Animal Shelter) CARE Capistrano Animal Rescue Effort as a consultant....
My training covers South Orange County from Newport Beach to Coto de Caza to Oceanside. I am also available for telephonic or e-mail consultations."
