I am a graduate of Animal Behavior College where I earned my certification as an ABC Certified Dog Trainer. Animal Behavior College (ABC) is approved by the Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education and is an internationally recognized school. My commitment to this program has provided me with a formal education in canine obedience training and understanding behavior and its motives. My certification, education and experience provide me the skills required to effectively and humanely train your dog while keeping alive the spark that makes your dog so special to you.
I have been an AKC (American Kennel Club) Trainer & Evaluator since 2015 and continue to train Puppies and Adult Dogs who strive to earn their S.T.A.R. Puppy or CGC Certificate.
I graduated from Syracuse University in 1997 with my Bachelor’s Degree in Recreation Therapy. After I graduated college, I worked for many large hospitals and institutions where I learned how to provide Pet Assisted Therapy to my patients who were in need of rehabilitation and mental, emotional, physical & social stimulation. After 20 years of working with humans in the healthcare field, and providing Pet Assisted Therapy as a Treatment Modality at major hospitals around the country (Cedars Sinai Hospital, Veterans Administration, and Lancaster State Prison), my passion remained entirely focused on facilitating better human relationships through the help of animals and pets.
I've worked under several prominent Mentor Trainers (some include Lomita Training Club, Karma Dog Training Company, and Unleashed by PETCO) who have taught me everything I know about dogs and the Dog Training Profession. Currently I am a Member of the Association for Professional Dog Trainers. I continue advancing my knowledge of the Dog Training Profession by attending Seminars and Conferences, and learning from the best Behavior Consultants and PP/FF (Purely Positive and Force Free) Trainers in the world (some include Ian & Jaime Dunbar, Victoria Stillwell, Zac George, Brandon McMillan, Grisha Stewart, Pat Miller, Susan Garrett, and Sue Sternberg).
Currently, Santa Monica Paws has a growing affiliation with the Vanderpump Dog Rescue in Los Angeles, California, and we collaborate with their efforts to medically treat, care for, and rescue thousands of mistreated dogs around the globe, but specifically in Yulin, China. We've also just recently collaborated with Ally's Animal Rescue, a 501c3 non-profit, EIN 87-3117950 and we help train her rescue dogs to become more adoptable.
If your dog likes to drag & pull you down the street, and it's not an enjoyable experience to walk your dog, look no further. This is a very common problem that all dog owners face, and your dog is not the first case we have seen. With that said, we understand your frustration, and can help you learn a few tips to help you and your dog relax. This will help make your walks more enjoyable for you and your pet. The Staff at Santa Monica Paws puppy dog training classes are! a initial training evaluation away. You will need a 6 foot leash, High Value Food, and a Martingale Collar on your dog's neck. Training should not be so much work, but rather it should be fun and enjoyable, so go make it happen today! Playa Vista Marina del Rey companion dog training
Treadmill companion dog training is one of the ways we recommend you train your dog if weather conditions are not pleasant outside. In our puppy dog training classes, your puppy will get the mental and physical exercise needed to learn the rules of domestication. All dogs need activities and jobs to do that will provide them with plenty of mental stimulation and exercise on a daily basis. This creates an opportunity for your pup to problem solve, while draining frustrated, anxious, excited energy. If your pet Marina del Rey Santa Monica Playa Vista has dog to dog aggressive tendencies or leash reactivity towards others when you choose to walk it, then why not try a different form of exercise and mental stimulation training that your dog will benefit quickly from; the Treadmill.
