FAQs
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I attend the Clicker Expo every year, as well as local seminars. I sometimes feel like I eat, sleep, and breathe dog and am constantly reading and researching the web. I am in touch with well respected training mentors who are willing to help if I get stumped! I am always learning, and if I do not know the answer, I am not afraid to tell you.....but I will find one for you! That is my job !
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I was in medical sales and traveling all of the time. I decided to re-prioritize my life and go back to my childhood dream (okay, that was being a dolphin trainer...but training dogs is not much different!).
- What types of customers have you worked with?
Basic, intermediate and advanced obedience ( sit, stay, down, leave-it, drop-it, leash walking, come when called, greeting people without jumping all over them). Behavior problems. I am especially skilled with timid dogs and dogs who were not properly socialized as youngsters. I also excel at new puppies (potty-training, mouthing/nipping, extra-energy...and owner exasperation!). In addition, I provide pet sitting and dog walking services.
