Ann guides you and your dog to success with proven, science-based, positive reinforcement dog training methods. You and your dog learn new skills and build your relationship – without the negative fallout from harsher methods that many ‘quick fix’ trainers use. She has the same compassion with her human students as she does with her canine ones, helping them to be more effective, kind and connected dog-parents. Credentials/Certifications: CPDT-KA, ABC-DT, Fear Free, AKC Evaluator Professional Memberships: APDT, PPG, Thrive! A US Navy veteran and former Federal employee, Ann brings a breadth of experience and insight to her training. She realized her calling years ago when she was working HR issues with a fellow veteran who introduced her to his service dog. The rest, as they say, is history: she volunteered, got paid to work the best job ever, completed certifications, started an LLC and made that calling her full-time passion. Always thirsty for more knowledge about dogs and training, Ann regularly participates in professional development workshops, conferences and classes.
