The Reason
I am happiest when I am helping people and working with animals. Every dog deserves a happy loving home and family. Sometimes, either the family or dog needs some extra or specialized help. This is the part I can help with, addressing the problems and providing the tools to correct problems and help keep them from returning.
Most dogs don’t get a fair shake. They get labeled as reactive or untrainable or worse through no fault of their own. Their people may try to teach them how to behave but don’t succeed for some reason.
I love the challenge of figuring out how best to reach a certain dog and then teaching both the dog and their family. Dogs have needs and once you start helping a dog meet their needs you have a loyal companion that will do anything for their owner.
I have 30 years experience working with dogs and their owners. I believe education and staying up on current trends and techniques is very important. I have the CPDT-KSA level certification and recertify every 3 years. I also am a designated AKC Evaluator, Certified Dognition Evaluator, and graduated at the top of my class from Animal Behavior College.
