Dedicated to helping clients reach their training goals and learn from their dogs, A Lick of Truth is owned by an individual with a deep passion for positive and balanced dog training. Certified by ABCDT and with a Bachelor’s in Psychology from DePaul University, the owner brings a wealth of experience to their work.
Their interest in dog training began in childhood, inspired by their family dog, Pongo. From early on, they were involved in local dog obedience classes and spent time at home teaching Pongo various tasks and obstacles. This early experience sparked a fascination with understanding how animals interpret the world.
After college, they delved deeper into the pet industry and adopted their first dogs, Rabbit and Nugget. This experience solidified their passion for working with dogs, leading them to earn a dog obedience training certificate from Animal Behavior College in 2019. Further honing their skills, they apprenticed with Kim’s Dog Coaching, specializing in Rally and Agility training.
Having spent years working virtually with clients through an online dog training app, they have also raised their first puppy, Ember, while establishing their own business, A Lick of Truth. Thrilled at the prospect of sharing their knowledge and learning from each client’s dog, they are excited about the journey ahead. A Lick of Truth is a dream come true, and they look forward to the opportunity to teach and learn alongside their clients’ dogs.
