History

Established in 2013.

I have been a pet owner my entire life and spend a lot of my spare time volunteering and fostering dogs and cats. I realized several years ago that I was happiest when I was out and about with my dogs. I decided then that I wanted to help people have the same bond that I have with my dogs and so I proceeded to learn everything that I could about these wonderful animals that share my home.

I know from first-​hand experience the difference dog training makes in the relationship between dog and owner. Without professional training it can sometimes be a frustrating relationship, but with an investment in good training a wonderful transformation will occur.

Business Owner

After 20+ years in the health and fitness field I found myself truly happy when I was with my dogs, cats and wonderful husband Dave. During my life I have had dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, ferrets and horses; they have all taught me a great deal about myself and given me great respect for all animals. I decided in 2011 to learn all that I can about dog and cat behavior, leading me to go to Animal Behavior College and volunteering at the Everett Animal Shelter. While going to school and working full time I spent a great deal of time at the Shelter learning from the staff about animal welfare, community outreach and all of the wonderful animals. I spent over 2 years working with numerous dogs, fostering cats, kittens, puppies, and more dogs, I have learned a lot about a large variety of breeds and temperaments.
