Trainer
Kelly
Hey everybody, Kelly here! My passion for training began over 25 years ago with my beloved boxer “Stevie Boy.” Since then I’ve helped thousands of families build better relationships with their dogs. Over the years I’ve worked with rescue organizations as a Behavioral Evaluator for PetSmart Rescue Wagon, Paws and Claws of Tipton County, Tipton Animal Shelter, Paws New England and various others. As a result of hard work- thousands of dogs moved on to their permanent homes instead of euthanasia. I get my motivation and continuing education by training my Belgian Malinois for competitive dog sports such as APA. I’m a graduate of American Canine Interdiction with a focus on dual purpose and explosive scent detection. Im also an AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluator.My husband Jim and I are enjoying the dog life on 25 secluded acres in the country. When your dog is enrolled in training with me- they will feel safe and welcomed in my home. I cater my training methods to the needs of each dog and love setting up the clients and dogs for success.

Hanna
Hi there, my name is Hanna! I first started training dogs when I was 17 years old. I started out as an apprentice dog trainer for a company called B3K9 professional dog training, back in my hometown of Reno, Nevada. Where I did Board and Trains, Private Lessons, as well as Puppy training and behavior modification. During my apprenticeship, I obtained my first working dog a Belgian Malinois named Fiona. She helped me venture into different training avenues in the world of dog training. I then traveled to North Carolina, where I attended Tarheel Canine School for Dog Trainers, in which I did there 6 month master trainer course. While in school, I’ve handled and helped train several police dogs, special forces dogs, personal protection dogs, as well as training pet dogs. I look forward to helping you achieve your goals and find balance with you and your dog!
