About
I am a certified professional dog/cat trainer for over 25 years. I will partner with you to show you how to navigate the potential challenges of life with your dog/cat by bringing out the best in them. I have owned numerous dogs and at present have a Doberman named Delta. I also have 3 cats that I have had since 2 weeks of age that I fostered from local shelters. My job is to help you make your pet a great member of your household. Our animals are God's creation and each one deserves to be loved and trained. I am skilled in identifying and managing problem behaviors using positive reinforcement methods. I am experienced in developing and leading group dog training classes. I have been mentoring with Susan Garrett a renowned world dog trainer. Whether you have a puppy, challenging adolescent, a newly adopted dog or cat or a dog or cat with behaviors that you would like changed, I am here to help. It is important to keep your dog or cat stimulated by using their mind also. I am not qualified to teach therapy dogs and I do not board dogs. It is my privilege to help you and your pet.

Wilma was very thorough when observing my new puppy. After the first session, he is already more responsive to commands. Her suggestions are realistic and she is able to adjust advise if their are obstacles or unique circumstances.

Wilma was punctual, knowledgeable and patient with us. Wilma helped us with behavior issues with our dog by giving easy to follow, manageable exercises to work on. We felt she truly cares about animals and teaching owners how to understand their dog’s behavior. We have been doing our part with the games and training and hope to see our dog continue to improve.
