Surprise a pet lover with a
Certified Professional Dog Trainer - In Home Training - Grand Bay, AL
I am a Certified Professional Dog Trainer - Knowledge Assessed (CPDT-KA). This means that I took the extra effort to take a professional examination about my knowledge in dog subjects including training; I must take ongoing continuing education classes to maintain that certification. I am a reward based, force free trainer. I have other certifications, but let’s talk about what I offer.
I specialize in teaching dog agility, treibball, and tricks. Most of my classes are private lessons which are reasonably priced. You will get personalized feedback, video recordings, lesson summaries, and homework. I also present seminars and teach small group classes.
I teach all ages of handlers. While I train all breeds of dogs from Yorkies to Mastiffs, I have a special passion for small statured dogs, because I show and judge for the Teacup Dogs Agility Association.
My other certifications and associations are: PhD; Agility - NADAC Judge (SP1), TDAA Master Judge, AKC ACT Evaluator, TDAA Trial Host; Treibball - ATA Judge, ATA CATTII trainer, ATA Board Member; Tricks - DMWYD CTDI and Stunt Dog Judge, AKC CGC/Tricks Evaluator; Other - AKC ATT Evaluator, CGC Evaluator all levels.
Please contact and book me on Petworks. Thank You.
