They offer unconditional love and companionship. But having an untrained, unbalanced dog can be a nightmare. Dogs, like people, can gain bad habits and rituals that make for a stressful co-existence in your life. Training a dog gives a base structure using practiced commands to prevent unwanted behavior. Training makes for a balanced dog and a happy home.<\/p>\n

My journey as a dog trainer started when I adopted my first dog. As a way of introduction, she dragged me down the street, chewed up toys, remotes, and was not fully house broken. I loved my dog and knew that I needed help. I sought out a dog trainer, who helped my dog (and me) learn the commands and basic structure of maintaining her training. I immediately knew this was meant for me and became so passionate about being able to one day help someone with their dog too; so I studied animal behavior, worked with various trainers, and attended workshops and seminars to be able to offer the best training techniques and methods to you.
