About
I have been a Certified Dog Trainer now for 14 years. My focus is and remains assisting Pet Parents with their Canine Children so that there is a positive relationship between both. I graduated from Animal Behavior College in 2007 and originally did group and individual lessons, but had found individual lessons, in the home of dog and pet parent actually was more effective. Many people have the concept that "Obedience Training" is teaching their pooch how to "behave". While that is partially correct, I am under the firm belief that training is actually fostering the relationship between the dog and their "humans", creating a loving bond where the dog "behaves" because they really are connected and want to "please" their humans. Positive Behavior Modification Techniques are the basis for all training I provide. I strive to strengthen that bond with the ultimate goal of the dog becoming a "Good Canine Citizen". I also strive to keep costs down for pet parents so they can use the money for their dog's care not me so I do not require a minimum number of lessons and I provide all training materials and written lesson plans as part of the package. About 95% of my clients report results in one lesson (approx. 2 hours) . My lessons are interactive, fun for both human and dog.

I am quite impressed with Bad Dog to Good Dog. Cindy took to the trainer nearly instantly. I don't think one session will solve all the problems but I notice an improvement. We're working on Cindy's Focus right now, and we seem to be improving; mind you, it was only yesterday that we had our first session.

Sandy was wonderful! When she got here she saw that my other dog was very involved with our new dog so she Incorporated the training process in with him also. Sandy was very prompt and professional. The training was clear and concise. I would recommend her to anyone!

Sandy was amazing. My dog is not fond of strangers and before Sandy was leaving she was jumping in her arms and loving her. Her positive training is really working and I saw the difference in my dog within only a few hours. With her price and ability to travel to you there is no one out there that even comes remotely close in terms of a dog trainer. I will be recommending Sandy to EVERYONE that ever asks me about dog training.

We love Sandy! She was attentive, engaging, quick and responsive. She addressed every question and issue that we had with our dog Baby and she left us with a great plan in place to continue her lessons. It’s been almost a week since she came and we are following her plan to a T. Our dog is thriving! Thank you Sandy!
