Stacy is an excellent dog trainer particularly for one-on-one training. She can solve any problem behavior and can help take a puppy and make it the best dog ever!

Stacy is a wonderful, compassionate trainer. She trained my Chester, golden/collie mix when we first rescued him off of the streets. He did not know sit, heal or any manners.
After Stacy worked with Chester, he learned quickly all his manners and commands to become a well behaved furkid!
Stacy loves her furkids she trains and it shows!
To this day, Chester still remembers all his commands and because of Stacy he is the best dog any human could ever be honored to be owned by!

Stacy and Adventures are the most knowledgeable in the field. Stacy not only knows how to remedy your dog's behavior, issue or concern, but she listens to YOU and treats you like an individual, not just one of the herd. I like that. I felt like she sincerely addressed MY issue and helped me work on it personally. :-)

Question and answer
Q. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?
A. Dog training isn't just about teaching sit or lie down, it really is a skill. To be good at it you really have to understand dogs, their language and how to communicate in order to accomplish your goals.
Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?
A. I get results without intimidating or using harsh methods. I don't suppress the behavior, I change it . . . or rather I train people to help their dogs change their behavior.
Training people how to communicate and understand their dogs is more important than anything.
Q. What do you like most about your job?
A. It's what I've always wanted to do and I can help people learn about their dogs what they never knew before.
Q. What do you wish customers knew about you or your profession?
A. Many people assume dog training is more like a hobby rather than an actual field of work. The truth is for someone to be a truly good dog trainer one must understand canines as a species and how to properly communicate with them. There are many ways to train a dog but using modern, scientific methods are the only way to get results and have a great companion.
Q. How did you decide to get in your line of work?
A. I had a dog in college that was awful. He ended up biting me and breaking skin. I knew then I needed to get him help, but more so I needed to be educated on what and how to do this! And my career began that day . . .
Q. Do you do any sort of continuing education to stay up on the latest developments in your field?
A. Yes! I attended dog training seminars and conferences as much as possible. Usually at least one a year, if not more. I also watch many videos, read books and chat on forums and connect with other dog trainers through Facebook and other sources.
Q. What are the latest developments in your field? Are there any exciting things coming in the next few years or decade that will change your line of business?
A. I have begun to use some new methods that really focus on keeping a dog below threshold, this means preventing the dog from hitting "that point of no return" so that the learning process is excellent and long-term.
I've had excellent results from this and continue to learn how to really understand the canine species and connect with them so that training is easy, fun and has successful, long-term results!
