Our Story
I started training dogs in 1999, mostly helping neighbors with unruly pet dogs. I still enjoy the problem solving aspect of pet dog training. I admire the clients I have since they are trying to do something to solve their dogsâ issues!
I have always been fascinated by working dogs. The fact that dogs can do such remarkable things for humans for just a pat on the head is amazing to me.
On 9/11 I was captivated by watching the search and rescue dogs that were active on all three sites. After that I started working with local law enforcement training dogs for search and rescue. I worked my own dogs on a local team and we found evidence, human remains and missing live persons. I soon became a trainer for my search team and continue to run a local SAR training group in my area. (If youâre interested in working a search dog, contact me!)
In 2003 I started working as a volunteer with a national ADI organization representing them in my area. I learned about how the dogs were bred and trained. I apprenticed with two great service dog trainers for several years, and then started training service dogs on my own. The area in which I lived didnât have any service dog providers so I started to work with people who fell between the cracks of the large organizations: people who have multiple medical issues, people who prefer different types of dogs, people who need to make payments. I especially like to work with women survivors with PTSD. Please contact me with any questions about service dogs, as I am happy to be a resource for good information.
