Heightened Instincts Dog Training
About
We are a certified professional dog training facility. We offer a variety of services to meet your needs. Puppy Training, Basic Obedience, Intermediate Obedience, Advanced Obedience and Behavior Modification. I have two Dog Trainer Certifications, one of which is my Master Dog Trainer Certification. We offer discounts on training programs as well as other discounts you may qualify for. We also have promotional specials! Consultation fees are applied toward your total if a training program is purchased, making the consultations free!
I enjoy being able to help people have a peaceful home. I believe dogs deserve another chance at life and with proper training they can live happy lives with us. Many dogs are rehomed or worse, euthanized, and with training and/or maintenance the bond between owner and pet can be strengthened. I love the feeling of being able to help save lives and being able to show people how to understand dogs.

How did you get started in this business?
I have always enjoyed being around dogs since I was very young. I started by training simple commands to dogs of family and friends. After separating from the Navy I decided to go to school to become a certified dog trainer. I received my certification in dog obedience and enjoyed it so much that I wanted to learn more. I traveled cross country to continue my education and earned my Master Dog Trainer Certification.
What types of customers have you worked with?
I have worked with many customers with a variety of breeds and behavioral issues. Every dog is unique in its own particular way.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
There are many dogs I am fond of being able to help. Each dog has its own personality and building a bond with them is very satisfying. I have trained dogs from having no obedience to earning their AKC CGC title in 6 months!
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
Look for the right trainer. There are many trainers who can make the problems worse if they don't fully understand how to work with dogs. Someone with experience and the knowledge of dogs can resolve your problems, not make them worse. Good trainers aren't cheap, and cheap trainers aren't good.
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
What is their professional background? Do they have experience? Do they have education? Are they certified? Do they have good reviews? Do they have experience with a variety of breeds? Do they have experience solving your particular issues? What training methods do they use? Do they have 24hr support?
