Custom Canines Specialty Dog Training and More I am a professional dog trainer who specializes in advanced training and behavioral modification. I am local here in Helena, born and raised.

I have a Master's Degree in Canine Behavior and am certified through The American Society of Canine Trainers International. I graduated from Carroll College in 2011 with a bachelor's in biology with an emphasis on Anthrozoology. I offer many dog training related services and classes. I trained Archie, a shelter dog through the Carroll College HAB program. He was trained in diabetic alerts and was

a huge success for the program and started my business shortly after.
