Vet Techs . Groomers . Boarding Staff . Shelter Volunteers Dogs see with their nose. Dogs need their nose to "understand." We start from the premise that dogs perceive the world differently from us. When we respect that — and learn to see how they are feeling — our work with them changes. ### [Workshops ![Good Sniffs K9 Behavior Education l Indianapolis](https://goodsniffs.dog/hubfs/CTA-Workshops.png) Interactive, topic-focused group sessions for teams and organizations.](https://goodsniffs.dog/workshops?hsLang=en) [LEARN MORE](https://goodsniffs.dog/workshops?hsLang=en) ### [Presentations ![Good Sniffs K9 Behavior Education l Indianapolis](https://goodsniffs.dog/hubfs/CTA-Presentations.png)Educational speaking for canine-related conferences and events.](https://goodsniffs.dog/presentations?hsLang=en) [LEARN MORE](https://goodsniffs.dog/presentations?hsLang=en) ### [Online Courses ![Good Sniffs K9 Behavior Education l Indianapolis](https://goodsniffs.dog/hubfs/Online-Courses-CTA.png)Virtual classes for flexible learning from anywhere and on your schedule.](https://goodsniffs.dog/online-courses?hsLang=en) [LEARN MORE](https://goodsniffs.dog/online-courses?hsLang=en) ### [Upcoming Events ![Good Sniffs K9 Behavior Education l Indianapolis](https://goodsniffs.dog/hubfs/About-Us-1.png) Find out where and when the Good SniffsSM team will be sharing.](https://goodsniffs.dog/upcoming-events?hsLang=en) [LEARN MORE](https://goodsniffs.dog/upcoming-events?hsLang=en) ![Good-Sniffs-White-Icon](https://goodsniffs.dog/hubfs/Good-Sniffs-White-Icon.png "Good-Sniffs-White-Icon") ### Curriculum Focus ###### Our education programs are ideal for canine professionals needing a better grasp of: ###### Fixing reactivity and fear aggression with dogs or people. ######  Discovering why dogs develop reactivity, how to prevent it and reverse it. ###### Helping owners confidently read body language in our busy world. ###### Supporting positive interactions with strangers to reverse fear-based and aggressive behavior. ###### Keeping handlers and dogs safe. ![Margaret Bridges, Professional K9 Trainer l Indianapolis](https://goodsniffs.dog/hs-fs/hubfs/Margaret-Bridges-Bio.png?width=1000&height=1000&name=Margaret-Bridges-Bio.png) INDIANAPOLIS ### Certified Professional Trainer GET TO KNOW ## Margaret Bridges Margaret has a lifelong passion for dogs, understanding their thinking and training new behaviors.

Not only does she train the dogs, but she helps you understand life from their perspective." ![Testimonial l Good Sniffs K9 Behavior Education l Indianapolis](https://goodsniffs.dog/hubfs/Testimonial-2.png) "Margaret is so good at understanding dog behaviors.... minute details that make or break success in training. She is able to explain things from a dogs perspective so that you can really understand the 'whats' and 'whys' of the training process." ![Testimonial l Good Sniffs K9 Behavior Education l Indianapolis](https://goodsniffs.dog/hubfs/Testimonial-4.png) "From the moment I met Margaret and her team, I felt hope. They are some of the most compassionate, intelligent, and genuinely caring people I’ve ever met. They welcomed Clover exactly as she was — nervous, unsure, and overwhelmed — and treated her with such gentleness and patience. And they didn’t just work with her; they worked with me too. They taught me how to read her body language, how to help her regulate, and how to show her she’s safe now. They gave us both the tools to succeed."
