The dog trainer who tutored First Fido Bo in the ways of canine comportment passed away on January 12, 2011 at the age of 52 from respiratory distress. Dawn Sylvia-Stasiewicz gained recognition among dog devotees for teaching the the tail-wagging chums of Washington political power brokers, including the late Senator Edward Kennedy’s three Portuguese Water Dogs Splash, Sunny and Cappy.
Although Dawn Sylvia-Stasiewicz is no longer with us, her legacy of trust-based training lives on in her 2010 book co-written by Larry Kay. The Love That Dog Training Method, a 224-page instructional guide, teaches pet parents to employ positive reinforcement to achieve results from Spots who are unschooled in social conduct.
