With over 25 years of dog training experience, the trainer offers all levels of training, including puppy and adult problem solving, housebreaking, manners, and aggressive behavior modification.
Initially involved in the competition world, with titles in obedience, agility, and herding, the experience led to a deeper interest in behavior and a transition to positive reinforcement methods.
The trainer holds certifications from the Karen Pryor Academy and the Certification Council of Professional Dog Trainers, both requiring adherence to a code of ethics and rigorous testing of knowledge and skills.
Staying current on the latest science-based training techniques and research, with hundreds of hours of continuing education, the trainer prides themselves on using the most current, scientific methods of training to resolve issues.
The focus is on building trust between the dog and the owner. The trainer offers virtual and in-home training, though does not currently teach group classes, and has extensive experience in owning and training Rottweilers for over 30 years.
