I have been a professional dog trainer, handler, coach, and mentor since 1967.
There are many excellent trainers throughout the dog world. I am proud to stand among
them. I am an excellent trainer and teacher of both dogs and humans. It is an honor to share
my knowledge and experience with dog owners and my peers. I am excellent at what I do, I
love what I do, and above all, I respect what I do. Training dogs and teaching people to train
their dogs is my passion and my profession.
