Andrew was amazing! this was our first time ever working with a trainer, and immediately we felt like a weight was lifted, and that we could in fact make this work with our dogs. he listened to our concerns and questions, and responded amazingly to them. can’t say enough good things about our experience with him!!

FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When working with a new client, I typically begin with background information, routines, and dietary information. Before we even get to training, there are other things to consider - like welfare and well-being of our dogs!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I mentored for a year and a half with a certified dog trainer, then began my own business while continually building on my knowledge through books, videos, seminars/webinars, and so on.
I am always learning, especially from different dogs and people!
I have over 1,000 hours of hands on experience so far and will eventually be certified in force free/harm free training once I’ve selected the correct certification and prepared for it fully.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I started with walking dogs and dog sitting part time while working in social work. I started mentoring with a trainer and things took off from there!
