Happy National Labrador Retriever Day!

had wanted a Lab for a while, and had her eye on a breeder for years as she fell in love with her pups. A little over 4 years ago this big floppy puppy came into her life, and sheโ€™s been hooked on Labs ever since!

Who Is The Loyal Canine?

Kim Brewer and Lewis Collins have both had a passion for dogs their entire lives, and have worked with dogs in different aspects for many years. Then they came together, learned from each other, and formed TLC Dog Training.

Kim is a graduate of the University of Illinois with a Bachelorโ€™s Degree in Animal Sciences, and a certified Professional Dog Trainer from the Tom Rose School for Professional Dog Trainers in St. Louis, Missouri. For over 10 years, Kim has worked at boarding/daycare facilities, Humane Societies, and as a Bed Bug Detection Dog Trainer. After completing the Professionals and Masters programs at the Tom Rose School, she worked for a prominent training facility in St. Louis. In moving to Florida, she worked with her former classmate for over a year, training with his in home pet training company. Kim is currently competing with her dogs in AKC obedience and the sport of Schutzhund. She continues to add to her training toolbox by attending classes/seminars, and working with and learning from many of the best dog trainers and behavior specialists in the world.

Lewis has recently retired from the Air Force, where he was a Military Working Dog Trainer/Kennel Master for a majority of his career. While in the military, he acquired a variety of different certifications, specializing in scent detection and protection work. After several years and deployments as a K9 handler, he began training new dogs and handlers, working his way up to Kennel Master. During his last year in the military, he began training with Kim, and learning to apply his military dog training knowledge to the pet world. Upon retirement, he continued to work with Kim, and began training with their company. He is currently training his puppy, Ziva, with the goal of obedience competitions in her future. He continues to build on his training foundation by working with some of the top dog trainers/competitors in the world, and attending training seminars.

After working together for several months, Kim and Lewis decided to form a business of their own, focusing on personalized training to meet the needs of the individual dogs and their owners. From puppy imprinting, to behavior modification/problem solving, to advanced obedience, TLC Dog Training strives to maximize the relationship and communication between a human and their dog.
