Corday Rice

Corday is a Charleston, South Carolina native. A dog owner her whole life, she began improving her dog handling by working in dog boarding kennels as a teenager. She has also been riding horses since the age of 6. Corday left Charleston, South Carolina and moved to New York to attend college. After graduating college in New York, Corday moved to Chapel Hill, North Carolina where she worked as a veterinary assistant. After a couple of years, she returned to Charleston, South Carolina. Combining her experience working with dogs at boarding kennels and the vet clinic, she made an easy transition to working as a trainer with a dog training business in Charleston. After a few years, she met Tommy and became business partners at Charleston School For Dogs. Along with Tommy, she was looking for a change of scenery and they decided to move to Washington State and thus created Evergreen School For Dogs.

As of today, Corday Rice has been training dogs professionally for 17 years. Corday works with clients that need help with obedience training, problem solving, and aggressive behavior. She also helps clients pick out dogs that will make a good fit for the owner. Corday's dog training philosophy centers around blending different techniques to achieve the best results for dog and owner. She believes that there is no "one right way" to train and is always eager to try a new approach when necessary. Positive reinforcement is the method she will choose most often and usually the one that she feels works best. She also believes strongly in proper exercise and mental stimulation for your dog to avoid problem behaviors due to boredom and frustration.
