Retired Explsive Detectn K9 Handler
Pet care experience
I have owned, loved and trained dogs as far back as I can remember. When I was younger, I mostly owned smaller dogs. I learned how to care for different and larger breeds as I grew up and gained more experience. I have worked as an Explosive Detection K-9 Handler for the Transportation Security Administration at LAX. I have competed and titled in such sports as Schutzhund, French Ring, PSA, Obedience, Rally, Agility, Barn Hunt, Scentwork, Herding, Lure Coursing, Farm Dog Certification, and Temperament Tests. I have also I’ve trained dogs in scent discrimination to locate explosives and bed bugs, For pet owners I can provide home manners, socialization, behavior modification, or training for particular dog sports. I have experience successfully training dogs of all different ages, breeds, sexes and temperaments—and I can do the same for your pup too! I stand out from other pet professionals due to my experience, talent and extensive knowledge. I also understand that dog training is constantly evolving—there is always something new to learn and I keep that in mind with every dog I meet. I provide excellent customer service to my clients by fixing the problems they can’t seem to crack. I train the owners and well as the dogs, and once my clients have the right training info in their personal tool box, they can mold their dog into an ideal companion or family dog. I send photos and videos to my clients during their dog’s stay with me and keep them updated on their pup’s progress. They are kept in the know and are happy to see firsthand that their dog is safe, is learning, and is most importantly, having a good time. I have experience in whelping puppies and litters to taking around the clock care to terminally ill cancer patients. Whatever my clients need, I deliver. I take as much time as it needs with my clients, until he or she fully understands how to continue the work on their own. I retired from my job at LAX and spend most of my time training and working with dogs. It’s a 24/7 business and I enjoy every experience. Send me a message—I look forward to meeting you!

A typical day
I have a very large backyard suitable for training sessions, dog play and relaxing. I also have multiple large kennels outside, as well as indoor crates. At times, multiple dogs may be at my house during their 2 – 3 week training stay. I enjoy taking the dogs out walking around the local neighborhood, park and hiking trails. I am also open to additional training at your home, depending on what your specific needs are. I live in Rialto on a quiet street with friendly neighbors. Our time together will be a mix of training and learning, as well as FUN!
