About this trainer

Debbie’s Dogs offers positive motivation group and private training certified in training and counseling (CTC – SF SPCA’s Dog Training Academy). With over 10 years of experience in the Chicago area, Debbie has obtained the CTC (Certificate in Training and Counseling) with honors from the internationally recognized SF SPCA’s Dog Training Academy.

She provides a range of group classes and private lessons. It’s important for dog owners to carefully research trainers. Simply having a certification, such as CPDT, does not ensure a trainer’s skills or experience. Membership in APDT does not guarantee adherence to their mission and ethics statements. Ethical trainers will transparently discuss their methods and readily address any questions about the training in advance.
