Introduction: I worked for 6 years with wild exotic animals. From elephants and giraffes to primates and porcupines to coyotes and snow leopards, I have worked with them all. My experience in the wild animal kingdom allows me to have a greater understanding of what techniques work, which don't, and how to implement them at the right times. Working with wild animals has given me an instinct that enhances training. I believe my work stands out from other trainers because I never ever see my clients as anything more than what they really are: unique people who have all the ability to lead their dog...they just need a little guidance in doing so.
The most rewarding part of my career is helping families. Each new client gives me the opportunity to improve not only the life of the dog but also the lives of the family owning that dog. My favorite session is the last session because the sense of accomplishment and achievement on the faces of my clients is priceless. I am only the guide and I make that very clear in my training. It is the owners that do the really hard work and I am so incredibly proud of them each time one is successful in their journey.
