I consider each dog that comes into my life as an opportunity to succeed. I can still remember how happy it made me, and the ones I visited in assisted living facilities, when I took my little 5 lb toy poodle, Babette to visit them. The smiles she would bring made it clear I wanted to pursue my own training in therapy work. But along the way I also decided to expand my knowledge to include service dog training. It has been so rewarding as each client and dog bonds together and interacts to make a team. I work with a great team of people who have helped me make my journey a success. Few can say they love their jobs, but for me with some tears, some struggles and sleepless nights I’ve managed to help some amazing people succeed in training some amazing dogs to help them live a more happy life now

Obedience training usually takes about 3 months. Once that is completed; it will depend on each individual dog, as well as the client’s individual services needs.
I am happy to help evaluate and temperament test any dog for service that a client may already have.
