I am the Owner and a Certified Trainer. I received my certification as a Professional Dog Trainer through the Animal Behavior College. This is a program that emphasizes the importance of positive reinforcement techniques in dog training. My certification took over a year to complete and was very comprehensive. I spent a great deal of time studying how dogs learn, effective positive training techni
ques and behavior modification. While enrolled with the Animal Behavior College I worked closely with a Mentor trainer and spent several months volunteering. I was a Veterinary Technician for over 15 years and I have a Bachelor of Science in Molecular Biology, Microbiology and Biotechnolgy from Florida Atlantic University. I am very passionate about dog training. Working as a Certified Pet Dog Trainer and, formerly, a Veterinary Technician allows me to incorporate many aspects of a dogβs life. I have trained a wide variety of breeds of all age groups with diverse needs and problems. I have also trained and competed in competitive obedience, Schutzhund, agility, flyball, confirmation, dock-diving and sheep herding with my own dogs. When I made the choice to pursue dog training as a career I felt it was exceedingly important to become certified. I wanted to be sure that I found a school that was passionate about dog training and well regarded with an outstanding curriculum. The Animal Behavior College was a wonderful program and great learning experience. I firmly believe that a well-mannered dog makes pet ownership more enjoyable and meaningful. Through training, owner and dog strengthen their bond and create a mutual friendship and respect. Unfortunate, but true - most dogs who end up in shelters do so because of lack of training and the resulting behavioral issues. I want to help reduce these numbers by teaching beloved pets to become well-behaved members of their families through training and behavior modification. Let me assist you in having the well mannered, four legged, family member you've always wanted. I would love to help! For my previous training clients, I provide boarding in my home, a more peaceful, βHome Styleβ experience that is far less stressful on your beloved pet than staying in a kennel facility. I look forward to hearing from you! Sincerely,
Amy M. Krupp, BS, CPDT
