I'm currently an accredited dog trainer for O'Fallon, IL Petsmart. I was previously in-house K9 behaviorist for Dogtopia of Ellisville with over 7 years experience working with dogs of all temperaments and backgrounds. Before I moved here from Virginia, I worked with the SPCA rehabilitating dogs for adoption. I currently train basic obedience and behavior modification for dogs of all breeds and ages at Petsmart. I work with full classes of pet parents and their dogs as well as private one-on-one sessions for specific issues or for reactive dogs. My job as behaviorist at Dogtopia was to act as a consultant to all of our canine coaches so every member of staff is an expert on canine language and be able to control rooms filled with 30+ dogs. I'm available 7 days a week for dog sitting and walking. I'll gladly work with any dog no matter how "bad" they are on leash! I focus on relationship building, consistency of training and care, treating every dog I work with like my own.
