Whit Dogs Training Services - Mendon, MA
After training several of our dogs with many different dog trainers over the years, I decided to become a trainer myself. Having done obedience, agility, rally, disc and scent work, I was able to work with some of the best trainers around and was able to learn what I liked and did not like about their training methods and teaching styles. I was also lucky enough to be able to shadow a couple of my mentors, took many in-person and online courses and started teaching group classes on my own back in 2013. Since then, I retired from my professional career as a court reporter and became a full-time dog trainer.
Being certified was always important to me, so I chose to go through the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers’ program, which requires a lot of study, hands-on training and actual teaching hours to apply to take the test. I passed the test in 2017 and have been certified and re-certified since. The continuing education that one must do to re-certify is something I enjoy, because you can always learn something new.
From having five dogs of my own, fostering for many years and working in a large kennel, I know that every dog is different, as is every person. One size fits all does not work in dog training, and figuring out what does work for each team is what I enjoy the most.
The services I currently offer are puppy training, basic obedience, socialization, behavioral issues, AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy class, Canine Good Citizen class, intro to fitness and intro to agility.
Please contact and book us on Petworks. Thank you.
