My mission to create a company of diverse dog professionals that can come together and change the way dog training is done, was a priority. It was important to me to go beyond the basics and redefine how dog training is taught. With my 28 years of law enforcement experience with almost half of that being a canine handler, and my years spent training dogs, I wanted to create a space for dog owners to have their needs met. I have spent countless hours mentoring, being mentored and finding some of the best in the industry to teach and to learn from. It was important to me to not only create a safe environment for pet owners to learn with their dogs, but for our dog professionals as well. Being able to put together a team of canine educators that are dedicated to learning, teaching, growing and loving dogs was one of my non negotiables. I wanted to base my company around solid values and never settle for anything less. My dedication as a canine handler, law enforcement officer, police academy instructor, and physical training instructor has paved the way to my success. These positions have allowed me the opportunity to work with some incredible canines along the way. I take pride in being a police dog evaluator for the state of Ohio, certifying and re-certifying police canines so they can serve and protect their communities. It is through all of my work and experience that I found a passion for working dogs and worked for create a non profit foundation- The Central Ohio Canine Foundation, an organization that assists public safety services (Police, Fire, Search and Rescue) dogs and military veterans fundraising for service dogs.
