Impacting dog lives and their human

Pet care experience

My passion is caring for and enriching the lives of animals, especially dogs. I work as a full time dog trainer and I am also trained and current in pet CPR and pet first aid. I decided to become a dog trainer because I learned at a young age that dogs are very misunderstood and many of our issues with them may can be helped or eliminated with training and enrichment. However, the one thing I value the most is seeing the impact it has on the human-animal bond. My experience includes giving medication to animals, dog walking, exercising and training dogs in thing like agility, play time, dog training and behavior modification. I am a fast learner and pay attention to detail including behavior changes and habits. I am open to doing other tasks that you are comfortable with me performing, I crrently train two German Shepherds in the sport of Schutzhund and various AKC sports in my free time.

Sammie is a great dog trainer. I've seen her take a dog that wouldn't listen to anyone to the point she could have the dog sit and walk away out of its sight and it wouldn't move, even if other people came by, until she told it to come. She would tell it "break" and it would come running straight to her. She's helped a very nervous dog to be able to around others. She's trained seven dogs of her own to several levels of obedience and helped many others. She's a great trainer. She has two good citizens dogs that can be used for service animals.
