     I have always taken great pleasure from training my dogs to be good canine citizens and from teaching them tricks. When I adopted an adorable Shi-tsu/Poodle named Bailey in 2007 and began training her to be a Canine Good Citizen I fell in love with the process all over again. 

     I enrolled in Animal Behavior College (ABC), graduated and was certified. My first professional experience came at PetSmart as a Dog Trainer, after which I worked with an Animal Behaviorist and Petco as the Lead Dog Trainer and Mentor. 

     Penn Foster has certified me in Dog Training and Obedience and I’ve worked with many different dogs at my local shelter, earning a certificate in Training Shelter Dogs from ABC. 

     I’ve since rescued four more dogs after Bailey. They all have a delightful relationship with each other and with the human members of our family.
