Support your dog trainer by sharing your story

I have been for 12 years, starting off with no knowledge what's so ever when I started at Petco. I have always loved animals and knew they were a passion of mine ever since I was a little kid. In meantime at Petco I was a mentor to train other people like me who wanted it become a dog trainer . I also trained dogs but mostly people on how to train their dog. I was fortunate to be sent to places like San Antonio and San Diego to train with some of the elites positive trainers in the country. My passion and love for dogs exploded, reading, traveling, watching everything and anything that dealt with dogs, training, behavior. I want to be the best so strived for that to get me where I am today.

Basic to advanced evaluations of the dog or puppy's behavior. We develop a training plan and meet weekly, bi weekly or monthly until the behavior has been corrected. Classes we meet once a week or 6 weeks. There are multiple classes ranging from basic to elite manners.

Why I became a dog trainer:

My love and passion for animals, as well to help people

My favorite part of being a dog trainer:

Being around dogs, and making people proud of both themselves and their dog as they improve their relationship. Building a forever bond through training

My #1 dog training tip:

that dogs only learn to reinforcement, so it is very important to reward your dog for every good action that they do. Have a structure, have fun, and most importantly love your dog.
