I have been coaching other dog professionals for the past 5 years. There are many young trainers, like yourself, who’ve taken courses, gotten certified and then find themselves unable to progress because of; either a lack of confidence or lack of experience with dogs or communicating what they know to their clients.
I love mentoring. We do mock consultations and conversations just like you would have with your clients , where I play the client and you are the trainer. With over 40 years of training clients and their dogs, I have every possible scenario under my belt that you’ll learn everything you’ll need on how to answer the most bizarre questions.

As a former vet tech, I have proven animal husbandry skills that will help you help your clients and their dogs. I’ll show you how and why animal husbandry needs to be part of your training program for all your puppies and adult dogs. I was certified in Fear Free practices but have been teaching animal husbandry skills, low stress handling and compassionate care to my clients, throughout my entire career.
Whatever or wherever, you feel you could use help, contact me for more information and pricing.
