I have 15 years experience working with dogs and cats in veterinary clinics. I grew up with dogs in my household and have 2 dogs of my own. working in veterinary clinics I have had exposure to a variety of breeds of dogs young and old. As a trainer I have experienced dogs from many different backgrounds and energy levels. I have worked as a dog trainer for 6 years and have had great success with positive reinforcement. I offer a loving caring environment for dogs while their owners are away. I believe a happy dog is one with an enriched environment that offers mental stimulation and exercise. My philosophy in training is based on the latest research about how dogs think, learn and communicate.
