Graduate of the Assistance Dog Institute 1996 Graduate of the San Francisco SPCA Academy for Dog Trainers 2000 Certified Pet Dog Trainer 2007 My goal is to help you have a great relationship with your dog. I have two decades of dog experience. I primarily use positive reinforcement training techniques. I have worked and volunteered at animal shelters, fostered many dogs, trained service dogs for people with disabilities, taught group dog classes, dappled in several dog training disciplines, competed and earned titles in Rally-O and Agility. I’m a long-time member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers and regular participant at their educational seminars. I continue to study and be fascinated by animal behavior and dog behavior in particular. I’m available to travel from Blue Lake to Fortuna to Trinidad and beyond.
