Ashley Karlin Theis

About this trainer

Ashley has decades of experience with a large variety of breeds. She grew up as a military dependent and volunteered with shelters to rehabilitate dogs that were once deemed un-adoptable. From there she was inspired to attend Animal Behavior College for dog training and eventually began training Service Dogs for veterans with PTSD – a dream she always had in order honor those who served.

She is an AKC CGC Approved Evaluator as well as part of The Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT). She is currently dual certified with her ABCDT and CPDT-KA and has mentored under well respected behaviorists.
