Got Sit Dog Trainer and Operations DirectorCorey joined Got Sit in June of 2014, motivated by the idea of working a family business and getting the opportunity to work with his best friend at the same time. Also appealing was the idea of being on his toes and not doing the same redundant thing over and over. Being able to work with dogs was just a huge plus to the whole thing. Discussing his favorite things about training, Corey said, 'There are two main things that always stand out. The first is literally being able to help change and impact people's lives for the better. With such a dog centric society, especially here in Washington, people really value and cherish their relationships with their dogs, so being able to help contribute to that for the better is a great feeling! The appreciation you feel is very real! The second thing is the dogs themselves. Really helping the dogs learn how they fit into the pack and family dynamic and watching their lives and happiness increase is amazing! It really makes things fun!‚' Describing his two dogs, Corey said, 'I have two dogs. Dexter is a 10 yr old Westie/poodle mix. He was adopted at 8 months old and has now fully embraced the retirement life after working a lot of years with me in Got Sit. He loves his relaxation time and cuddles, while also having a love for gnawing on his bones occasionally. My other dog is the workhorse red lab named Copper. He has been with us since 8 weeks old and he is now 5. He is an absolute workaholic with no off switch. He loves life and everything in it, but the ball is at the top of the list! He recently has a new found love for dock diving, but really he just wants to work and play and continue to enjoy life!'
