Trainer Profile

Pickles Playland

 
I grew up with gladiator dobermann and a keeshond (+ 1 really mean cat). Since 2003 I’ve worked to learn business with a passion and life goal to teach foster children how to become entrepreneurs through partnership with corporations and small businesses. But my deep passion is obviously animals. Growing up with highly trained and ill-trainer guard dogs taught me compassion for the fearful animals in our homes & how to work instinctually with dogs to help guide them towards positive behaviors. My dogs are pit bulls; Mija (my PTSD service dog) & Ducklington Bear (my wild child).
 
Certifications: AKC CGC
 
Job Title: CEO
 
Training Philosophy: I don't subscribe to one method because each dog is different. Having the ability to bring in elements of varying methods is crucial. I believe we should use methods that teach the dogs what not to do and reward heavily for the behaviors we do want.
