Which part of the country do you serve pets?

Serving Pinellas County and South Tampa Florida

What year did you begin serving pets?

I began training dogs personally since I was about 10 years old, professionally in 2009 and started my own business in 2012.

How did you hone your craft?

I attended online training with Animal Behavior College (ABCDT certification) and Penn Foster (received my certification in Pet Dog Training). I have attended several seminars dealing with animal body language, aggression and dog training techniques. I continue taking seminars on how animals learn and training methods.

What tip would you give pet parents for working with animals that you've learned as a pro?

Be patient, consistant and work at the dog's pace. If you feel yourself getting frustrated, give your dog a command you know he can do, praise him, give him a treat and walk away. pick up the training at a later time.

What is one thing you want pet parents to know about you? It can be whatev-fur you'd like!

I am a positive reinforcement trainer. I do not believe in forcing a dog, using fear or physical punishment to get the dog to comply. I train without touching the dog. I believe if the dog figures out what you want on their own, they learn better.
