🐶 Dog Behaviorist and Trainer | Over 26+ Years of Expertise | Training You How to Train Your Dog 🐕 | Video Chat Training 💻 | In-home Training 🏠 | Let's Help Your Dog Thrive 🐾 My personal belief is the Japanese Akita my mom had when I was born played a role in my love and connection to dogs. He was great with me and made a fantastic babysitter! I started dog training and behavior in 1998. My first
dog, Rocky, was a Shepherd/Collie mix and he is the reason I became a dog trainer. When he hit teenage hood I had to call in a professional trainer. During one of the training sessions the trainer asked if I had ever considered becoming a dog trainer. When I was a child I wanted to be a vet, but abandoned the idea when I thought about having to euthanize dogs. Dog training and behavior seemed like a natural fit. My training to become a trainer and behavior expert was via apprenticeship. To this day I am grateful that Rocky led me down this path. Dog training is not just a job for me, it is my passion. I take time with my clients and don’t rush them with an hourly fee. I truly believe once you start training with me, you are part of my dog training family. Your dogs become like my dogs and are treated that way. I work with the dog as a whole, meaning what a dog eats, its environment, physical, and mental needs all play a role in training. Plus, I am a practical trainer who takes into consideration your family’s schedule as well. Community involvement is another joy for me – whether it is teaching dog safety to children or working with organizations that help rescue dogs find permanent, loving homes. If I can educate people about dogs and further communication between dogs and humans, I am in my glory.
