Dog Training with The Hart Obedience Program - Lakeland, FL
For over 20 years, I have passionately dedicated myself to understanding the diverse languages of the animal kingdom, embarking on a journey that began at Sea World and naturally transitioned into dog training. My formal education at the prestigious National K-9 Dog School for Dog Trainers equipped me with a Master Trainers Certification, allowing me to deliver exceptional training services. Serving in Lakeland, FL, I specialize in dog obedience, therapy, and service dog training, leveraging my experience to transform dogs into valued members of the family. As a proud member of the International Association of Canine Professionals (IACP) and being American Red Cross Pet First Aid and CPR Certified, I assure you that your furry friend is in expert hands.
My commitment to animal welfare is unwavering, as demonstrated by my comprehensive business license and insurance, ensuring that every session is professional and secure. I welcome dogs of all sizes, from under 20 lbs to over 80 lbs, and I am thrilled to offer mobile services, coming directly to you to provide personalized training experiences. My expertise lies in working with all breeds, but service dogs hold a special place in my heart. Watching a dog evolve into a trusted companion and support system for their family is a rewarding journey that I cherish deeply.
