About Me
Certified by Karen Pryor Academy and Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers
I have trained dogs using different training methods in the past.
Several years ago I watched a demonstration at Guide Dogs for the Blind where the trainer used clicker training to get a Black Lab to lead her to a bus stop. Not only was that dog focused on his handler but he looked like he was having fun! I knew this training method was something I needed to learn more about. I am positively reinforced each and every day when I see the results with my clients dogs and with my personal dogs.
Experienced Dog Trainer
I have lived with German Shepherd Dogs all my life and trained them to compete in confirmation, obedience and fly-ball. I certified two dogs for therapy work at Cottage Hospital and the public libraries in Santa Barbara and Goleta. I was a puppy raiser for Guide Dogs for the Blind for 20 years, where I raised 11 Guide Dog puppies and I served on the Santa Barbara County Sheriffs Search and Rescue team for 15 years.
