Educated and skilled in teaching students at both ends of the leash!

Training dogs isn’t just about the dogs. The family that lives with the dog needs to know how to communicate with their pet too so everyone stays safe. I have been educated to teach humans and animals.

With a Bachelors Degree in Human Psychology and “in class” student teaching experience for a course in educational psychology I have taught young children in elementary and day care settings a variety of skills and subjects. I’ve taught and managed adults in retail, service, and medical settings. I also have experience teaching young adults all the way up to octogenarians (individually as well as in group classes) about nutritional supplements, how to use a computer, and even how to dance in the ballroom style. In addition to that I have taught many age groups how to understand, stay safe around, and communicate with a dog!

Add to the education of training humans I also have continuous education in the science and fundamental skills of training animals. No old-style education but rather I am continually studying about the newest and most recent scientific studies in dog training and behavior. My knowledge and skills are tested as well. I don’t just say that I have credentials… I can actually show you the certificates. You can also find my name in the pro directories of some of the educational groups that have a directory of graduates!

My teaching experience and education give you and your dog the benefit of dog training that is simple, easy, and fun! Even better… I am that qualified dog trainer you’re looking for near you!
