I am an Alumni of Animal Behavior College, where I completed all the requirements to become a Certified Dog Trainer. I avidly pursue ongoing continuing education and professional development by attending several seminars per year and keeping current on all industry’s training techniques and literature. When not helping clients to enjoy easier lives with their canine companions, I volunteer for a guide dog organization based in Southern Florida as a puppy raiser where I have been raising and training puppies for them since 2015.
For those of you wondering what made me decide to become a dog trainer, here it goes…
It is a given that I have had a love and special bond with dogs since I was a little boy. But it was more so the events later in life that confirmed my calling. I worked as a Vet Tech for over 12 years. Although I enjoyed my role dearly, there was still something missing. The medical side just did not feel like I was where I was supposed to be. In 2015 one of my beagles passed away, I was left with only one dog and my home felt incomplete. I had always wanted to volunteer raising puppies to become service dogs, so I started researching non-profit organizations. I soon found one located in Southern Florida. Their business ethics and reputation stood out among all the others I had looked at. I attended my first meeting and was hooked. Training dogs was what makes me feel complete. It was my calling.
