MY TRAINING
 
 
 
I provide private lessons of great training and behavior modification for reasonable prices.
 
The number one thing I want to say is, I have so far never seen a dog that is “un-trainable” or a “hopeless case” so please don’t allow people and/or trainers to tell you that about your dog and do not give up until you feel you have tried everything.
 
With an evaluation we would talk, to better ascertain your needs, I would explain my training techniques and let you know what we would do to reach your goal in your dog.
I will show you a live demonstration of all the training with my fully advanced off leash trained dog.
 You will get a written report of your breed’s origination, characteristics, etc. even down to standard size of your breed, even if you have a mixed breed we would get as close as possible, to give you an idea of what you possibly could be dealing with, if you don’t have one already.
   
My training gives you a ONE-command dog with the praise of your love and affection. I keep my training techniques as natural as possible, meaning how the dominant dog in the pack responds and corrects their own.
 
I can guarantee my training as long as my clients follow everything I explain to them, the number one key being consistency.  It is wonderful to hear a "guarantee" but it is not honestly something you can do as a trainer, not being sure of the owners actions.
 
**I also offer group classes in a partnership with a dog daycare, to be more available. It is a very friendly and clean, small dog daycare/boarding where she also provides grooming.

 

 

SOME WONDERFUL FAMILY MEMBERS I HAVE PROUDLY TRAINED

 

HOW I GOT STARTED
 
 
 
 
 
 
I was born and raised in Anchorage Alaska until I was 10, where I had a number of different breeds including German Shepherds, that were and still are one of my favorite. I trained my German Shepherd “Max” all basic commands including heel
off leash, when I was 8. Knowing that I wanted to
 
work in the animal business I really wanted to be a veterinarian for many years.

We moved to Virginia for about a year and then moved to Utah, where I started junior high.  I still had the same love for animals
especially dogs, I also was a vegetarian for 5 years during that time because of my love for animals.

 I did the same type of training, with my heeler mix, “Tobi” reading books, watching videos and everything I could to get as much knowledge as possible I even schooled myself on all breeds, there origin and characteristics, even on all diseases, everything you can think of, I was reading it all.

At the end of high school I moved out and got my own German Shepherd “Ryker” that I now still own and learned a lot from, when he was about a year he had very bad aggression towards other people especially kids, he would attack and lunge at the fences when people walked by.
 
I contacted a local Dog Training Facility that I had talked to before for a few training tips and I really clicked with a trainer there, he was full of information and had an answer for everything. Then he mentioned that they also do apprenticeships there on learning how to become a professional trainer & behaviorist, the one that most excited me was the personal protection training.
 
I went in and talked to him, he brought his German Shepherd out and was showing me all the possibilities, including the personal protection, I am sure my eyes lit up like light bulbs, I was sold....   
That is the main reason why I bring my dog to show all the training and what is available, it helps the mind rap around “I want that” I want that bond with my dog, that 100 % trust and confidence in my dog and his/her training and our relationship, and hey its fun training. the bond it builds is amazing.

I started there and learned everything I could I was on top of it and if I may say so myself, and the compliments I got from other people I “was a natural” so I did book studying, hands on, everything possible.
 
Now Ryker the same dog that would attack fences and lunge at people is now my 6 year old “huge” baby, who loves to go to my kids elementary school all the time and see all the kids, his favorite is to go up into the playground at the park and go down the slide right behind the kids.
There is such a confidence in his training that he never needs to be on a leash even in petsmart or lowes where he heels, not stepping one toe out of the heel position no matter what, unless he is told.
 
I have a beautiful 3 year old Pit bull  that is just as wonderful and close to my heart (maybe even more), he loves the kids and is so gentle around them (they are such a wonderful breed if it is done right)
Now, also another Pit bull, the baby, that I was originally only going to foster and she worked her way right on in. 
And an Akita, Kade....  what a wonderful, goofy and sweet boy.

To continue the story....  After my schooling was done I worked there for a while, I was there about a year until I decided I wanted to go out and do it on my own.
 
I have owned my own business ever since 2002 to help people one on one.  I am very didicated in helping people have a better relationship with their dogs and most of all to make happy dogs for people to be able to enjoy.
 
I truly love it, it is a passion of mine, not only to be training people and dogs to have a better relationship but to be helping make a better life for both of them.
 
I am now also a Veterinary Assistant that I also truly love and take great pride in the work that I do there.
I am considering Veterinary school for myself right now as I speak.

I try to make a difference, for the many animals that have to go to the shelters and be put down, simply because there was a miscommunication (if you will) in there relationship.
Lets make a difference and a better life, whatever way we can.
