I am qualified and properly educated in the field of dog training. My specialty is helping you with the common or not-so-common behavioral issues that a dog owner might experience. Anybody can start a website, advertise and call themselves a dog trainer. But not everybody has the experience and up-to-date education that I do. I not only am educated through the Animal Behavior College but I also have been rigorously tested through the independent certifying organization called the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers.

I regularly attend or view seminars by well-known experts in the field to stay up on top of growing trends and new research including but not limited to Dr. Ian Dunbar, Trish King, Chris Bach, Dr. Nicolas Dodman, Patricia McConnell, Grisha Stewart, Ken Ramirez, Pat Miller and Leslie Nelson.

I love working with people. Let’s face it; dog training is primarily working with people. Some dog trainers that I meet might be good trainers, but conveying a message to the dog owners that is easy to understand and motivating is another story.

Puppy training. I want to prevent adolescent dogs from being relinquished to shelters. An adolescent dog is the most challenging for any dog owner and for that reason; shelters like the Pet Alliance of Orlando are filled with them. The best prevention for getting through those adolescent months is comprehensive puppy training before they become adolescent. That is why I make this my specialty.

My training method is fun, uplifting and positively based for both owners and their dogs. Every human and every animal learns easier and retains more when they are having fun.
