Our Story

Hi, my name is Victoria Baker and like so many other dog trainers out there, I became a dog trainer by default. Starting with my own dogs training them to hunt, then working with Mountain Pet Rescue in Grand County fostering a new dog almost on monthly basis. That was when dog training became my calling. There was nothing more rewarding than working a dog with "issues". That was when I started to really study dog behavior. I started my educational process with the Rocky Mountain Regional Dog Trainer Academy which provided me with the study of dog behavior and learning. More than that, it provided me with hands on training with a wide variety of breeds and an even wider variety of temperaments and problems. It also provided me with the basics of positive reinforcement training as I knew in my heart that I could never punish a dog into being good and looked for a better way. I harnessed the tools of positive reinforcement to change how my fosters understood their world and my expectations. Suddenly my passion took over and now I'm making a career of it.

I am now a Certified Dog Behavior Consultant (CDBC) through the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants (IAABC). There are only 16 in the state of Colorado. IAABC requires a minimum of 500 hours working with clients as a behavior consultant and A working knowledge of learning theory, counter-conditioning, desensitization, training and husbandry, with additional in-depth knowledge of assessment skills and application of species specific knowledge. In addition to private in-home training and many foster dogs, I’ve since managed a dog boarding and daycare facility as well as developing a board and train program that had the capacity of 100+ dogs/day. I’ve personally trained over 500 dogs and helped find 100+ rescue dogs with “issues” their furever homes. Today, I love: *Helping dogs and their people learn to communicate and minimize frustration and “bad” behavior – on both ends of the leash. *Watching dogs improve their life skills and emotional well-being. *Seeing families uncover the dog they want, hidden inside the dog they have.
