I have been training animals for 40 years. In my dog training career, I have trained hundreds of dogs in pet store classes, private client sessions, canine rescue groups, private company training police dogs, protection dogs for individuals, clients for other trainers, as well as for family and friends. Each canine and companion offers their own special opportunity for growth and may require unique adjustments to training. To meet my client’s needs, I keep my training abilities current on the latest training techniques by continual research, attending seminars, networking with other trainers, as well as just good old application of training techniques on a variety of dogs and their owners. All to move my client and their ‘best friend’ to a loving relationship built on trust and understanding. I love the relationships between dogs and their owners. Even while I was involved in training the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Mounted Horse Unit for 5 years, I never lost my love for dogs over horses! There is nothing cooler than to see a working partnership between owner and their dog. The bond, the trust, and the love are unbeatable. I have been blessed in the past with several of those special bonds and in their honor I want to pass that to other dogs and owners. I enjoy working with people and I do what I do for the…. LOVE OF DOGS.
