In Home Service Dog Training and Canine Trainer - Kern County, CA

Member since Dec 2016

Hello, and thanks for stopping by my profile!

I am a dog trainer who specializes in service and therapy dog training & behavior modification -- of both dog and human -- through a combination of primal-intuitive, and positive/science-based methods.

My work focuses on helping you maximize the potential for health and happiness inherent to the bond you share with your pets!

In addition to training dogs for private clients, I offer humane education classes and community outreach programs to children of all ages, including those with special needs; and also vocational and Life Skills courses to adults. All of my teachings help people become their best selves by tapping into the transformative power of the human-canine bond in its myriad applications.

I have an A.S. in Assistance Dog Education from Bergin University of Canine Studies, a B.S. in Evolutionary Biology from The Evergreen State College, and am in the process of earning my M.S. from Bergin U. in Canine Life Sciences. I also have twenty years' experience working with, educating, and training both humans and canines.

I CHARGE $1/minute for Skype consultations, and $85/hour for obedience and behavior modification training in your home. Service dog pricing varies greatly, so if that is what you're interested in, let's chat, and I will customize a quote for you.

I look forward to answering any questions you may have regarding my services...and helping you and your dog maximize the potential that exists in the relationship you share!

Please contact and book me for private in home dog training - on Petworks. Thank You.

Dog Speed,
Liz Kover
