Introduction

I provide the information and expertise to get the best results from your canine. I have over 20-years of experience training dogs and helping people with extreme cases. I love canines and believe that they are a perfect example of mindfulness. I volunteer as a foster for the Humane Society - when they have a difficult case. I also volunteer for MOGS and am on their training team.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

I am currently working with Midas, a foster from the Humane Society of Greater Kansas City. He is a Golden Retriever, Pit mix. He lived the first 2 years of his life in a garage, he was a sweetheart who was aggressive to everything he was scared of. The problem he was scared of almost everything because of living in the garage and not being properly socialized. Now he is a loving, confidant 70-pound lap dog. I named the company after him because of his courage to trust people again even after the awful treatment he received during his first years.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

The best advice I can give is, find someone you trust. You get what you pay for.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

What are the training steps to start the behavior you are wanting or steps to stopping the behavior you do not want.
