I have owned and trained dogs since I was a little girl.
I started my professional career training horses and dogs in 1980. I
have lost count of the number of dogs I have trained over the years.
Over the years, I have been requested to evaluate dogs by shelters,
animal control agencies, veterinarians as well as private and group
class clients. I believe that this extensive exposure to all types of breeds of dogs and all different
canine temperaments has greatly contributed to my success as a trainer.
As with any other teacher or professional, I continue to update and expand my knowledge.
I working with other trainers and attend seminars, read the latest
theory and practice materials, and study video for new training
techniques.
I pick out what I like and what I feel is a positive method for
instruction and add that to my training repertoire.
