I have been a professional dog trainer for the last 15 years and an animal lover since I can remember. As far as my professional experience... I graduated from dog training school in 2008. My training education is in Pet Obedience, Competitive Obedience, Service Dog Training, Scent Detection and Protection Work. Continuing my education thru seminars, books and working with other trainers I expanded my knowledge and skill set which allowed me to counsel the boarding facility in ways to reduce stress for dogs in boarding and daycare and to become the facilities go to expert in dog body language, behavior, and training. In 2015 I opened my own training business in which I trained, walked and cared for my clients dogs in their own homes which in my opinion is the best place! I moved from St Louis to the beautiful Oregon Coast last year and took a break to get settled here. I love spending time with dogs and animals of all kinds and I am ready to get out there and meet some new pups.
