Accomplishments

The trainer began their journey about 8 years ago, motivated by a personal need for a trainer for their resource-guarding female shepherd. This led them into the world of Dog Sports, specifically IPO (now IGP or Schutzhund), where they trained with professional dog trainers and helpers for about 6 years.

Disliking “old school tactics” and seeking clearer communication, the trainer pursued formal education, attending school to learn about dog training and psychology. They also learned online from professional competitors. Later, they discovered and joined a PSA (civilian protection sport) club, finding a sense of camaraderie. After completing college courses, the trainer opened their own facility.
