History
My career began when I rescued a German Sheppard named Sadie. She was hyper, never listened, pulled during walks no matter what corrective collar we used, ate too fast, bit treats out of our hands, jumped all over guests, she was a MONSTER. I hit a brick wall when she saw a dog on the other side of a chain link fence and began damaging her own teeth to get to the other dog! I needed help, so I decided to become a certified dog trainer. With all the knowledge I gained, Sadie was no longer the animal we started with, she became a disciplined member of the home. She learned to listen to commands, no more pulling on walks, she became more relaxed, and of course, no more missing teeth. She has since passed and on and was able to live a full happy and healthy life. For over 10 years I have helped 100's of dogs understand their responsibilities and create balance in the home.
