The Beginning People often inquire about my journey into dog training, and the truth is it all began with Sylvia. When I adopted her at 18, I wasn't fully prepared for the responsibility. However, her presence ignited a passion within me. I dove headfirst into studying every dog training book I could find. It took a couple of years before I realized that I could turn my passion into a career as a dog trainer. Experience I began with training my own girl, who has resource guarding issues and likes her personal bubble. From there I started working in doggy daycare, allowing me to grow a sixth sense for when pups decide to go rogue. I then began teaching basic obedience classes for groups of 10 puppies, and then 10 adult dogs, owners accompanying. From there I moved to one-on-one basic obedience and behavior modification training. Most of my training is on the job, with a bit of training at a facility I worked at for a couple of years. I have been running Sweet Treats since 2019, training and walking full time. Why The moment of truth: why do I do this? Dogs are messy, loud and frustrating. The answer is simple: I want to help dogs stay in their homes. I've seen too many dogs given up simply because their owners didn't have time for them or didn't know how to find common ground with them. From basic obedience to teaching dogs and owners how to effectively manage resource guarding or leash aggression, I'm here to help maintain or achieve a harmonious home life.
