About the Trainer

I am happy to answer any questions you have.

I have been in the rescue world for over 18 years. I have rescued and trained some really bad dogs and found them loving homes. I studied at Penn State University.
I handle and trained Meya my SAR dog and trained others in our group.
I do positive training but in some cases the owner wants to work with other tools. (it is their choice)

Client Feedback

My Family was allowing me to do anything I wanted. I would run in the cow field and jump on people. My mom found "Be The STAR" and I now know that's not right. I can meet people without jumping on them. I know sit, stay and SO much more.

Blaze - The Boxer

Hi, My mom is gentle so I can get away with a lot of things. I love to play frisbee and sometime when I do I would run out in the woods and chase whatever moves. NOW, since my mom has a trainer, I CANT. The trainer is telling mom secrets that keep me safe.

Ms. Freyja - The Shepherd

I'm Meya, yes, I am a Mali. I am high energy and

play all day if I am allowed. I have been trained

in Scent work, Basic training, off leash training, I am a Search and Rescue dog. I have been trained on all types of collars and a few harnesses. My mom is the trainer and all the tools she used was in the right manner. She is now working as a positive trainer and teaches people how to use the tools they need in a positive manner.
