About

Personalized training by Certified Professional Dog Trainer. Specialized in training Service Dogs, Scent Detection Dogs, and Well-Balanced Pets. I Evaluate dogs for potential Service/work ability.
I am an AKC Performance Judge and CGC Evaluator.
I am well-versed in canine breeds, training tools, and canine body language. We work with the client to make sure the owners are comfortable with the training methods and training tools.
Making happy relationships for my clients and their family is a joy. Watching the faces of the human-canine bond when their dog improves and they, as a team, finally ‘get it’ is amazing and makes all the hard work worth it.

Describe a recent event you are fond of.
In 2017 we brought back the Canine Iron Dog out of retirement. This is an event where people can bond through socialization, obstacles, and short timed run. All proceeds go to K9s for Veterans, a non-for-profit that provides shelter dogs and services to veterans that suffer from PTSD to help as Service Dogs for those in need. The Iron Dog is hosted by us in the Autumn.
