Wiley Pup is a website devoted to all things dog. We want to provide useful and authoritative information about canine health, nutrition, breeds, training and products. Plus, we want to keep things fun and engaging! Who is Behind Wiley Pup? Sharon Elber, M.S. – Professional Dog Trainer and Lead Author Sharon has been a dog lover her entire life and has spent much of the last 15 years developing her expertise working with her own dogs Tango Bango and Fuzzy Beans. She has also worked as a professional dog trainer (she prefers to think of it as training people to effectively communicate with their dogs), as an assistant manager at a doggy daycare facility, and assistant trainer on a Flyball team. Sharon advocates the use of positive reinforcement techniques, such as clicker training, to help dogs learn appropriate behavior and to build their confidence. She also believes in providing strong leadership to our canine companions by setting firm boundaries and learning to enforce them consistently and humanely.
