FAQs
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to have a no obligation, free evaluation with my potential clients and their pets. During this evaluation, I like to ask questions to see what the clients main concerns are, answer any questions they may have about myself or Highland Canine. We can talk about different training methods and tools we use and see what approach is best for them and their pet.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have worked with and grew up around dogs. I was a Special Operations Dog Handler for over 4 years in the Army, during my deployments I have seen the remarkable things these amazing animals can accomplish. I yearned to pursue my passion of learning about the dog and helping people better communicate with their furry friends, and this brought me to Highland Canine in January of 2017 to start my professional career. After completion of their 6 month School for Dog Trainers, I began working with pet dogs, service dogs and working dogs. I assisted in training new students, K9 Handlers and clients on dog behavior.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Do your research and definitely ask questions. If another dog trainer can't tell you why a dog behaves the way it does, your training will not stick and you will be calling another trainer within a few months.
