Training Experience
I've been training dogs for most of my life! My first venture in dog training was training Beagles for hunting with my Dad in the 1970s. I've been a Certified Professional Dog Trainer since 2010. I have experience training dogs for detection, hunting, obedience, performance sports, search and rescue, service work, showing, sledding, therapy, tracking, and wounded game recovery. I've worked with rescues in Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, and Illinois and served as an expert witness in dog-related court cases.
Other Experience
I've served my community in EMS, Fire, Law Enforcement, and Search & Rescue. I also have many years of experience working in the veterinary field.
Philosophy
I use proven, peer-reviewed science-based methods.
