FAQs
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I took a dog training class and got hooked. I asked a master trainer if I could work with him and started training dogs in 1989. After working in the technology sector for over 38 years, I had enough! I was offered an early retirement package from HP an I took it. I wasn't ready to retire, I wanted to do something more with my life so I took a passion and turned it into a business.
- What types of customers have you worked with?
Just like building a house, you need a solid foundation. Basic obedience is the most common type of dog training but I always have to train the owner more than the dog.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
When contacting a dog trainer get to know the trainer's philosophy and approach to training dogs. The owner has as more responsibility of training the dog as the trainer has.
