Support your dog trainer by sharing your story

In 2013, I was introduced to positive reinforcement training and dog sports by 2 world champions in the sport of disc dogs! I had certainly found my calling, and I needed a dog. I rescued a high drive Staffordshire Bull Terrior and named him Blaze. He was very over reactive and fearful towards new people, dogs, and all around out of control. I put all my energy in Blaze with a lot of positive training and socialization. Blaze is now the logo of my business, and is a great inspiration for me to always want to help change my clients and their dog's lives.

In 2015, my partner & I, opened Indy K9 Services! I spent a couple of years assisting dog training classes. Fast forward to today, I have been teaching private training sessions for over 2 years and have worked with many different breeds. Obedience, reactive, fearful, tricks, nose work, and sports training are some of the work that I get to execute daily with clients.

The dog training and dog sport world has also led me into performing in dog shows. I have got to travel the US showing off both of my dogs in frisbee, agility, and their tricks! I also am a AKC CGC Evaluator. In just my 5 years of being introduced to dog training and putting in a lot of dedication, I can say that I am very proud of what I am accomplishing. I thrive to learn more everyday.
