About

I was born in Southern California and developed a love of animals at a very early age. I even won my very first dog training trophy in 1985.  After I finished school in 1993, I moved to Texas with my high school sweetheart and went on to pursue a career in veterinary medicine as a veterinary technician.  I started working at Creature Comfort Animal Clinic in Arlington shortly after moving to Texas.  This just further cemented my desire to help pets and educate owners.  I have spent the last 20 wonderful years there in a range of positions, working with some very knowledgeable veterinarians, but ultimately I wanted to train dogs.  I have always had my hands in dog training with my own dogs, so I enrolled in the Karen Pryor Academy for Animal Training and Behavior, where I became a Certified Training Partner. I continually update my education through various seminars and training classes throughout the year that you can find links to on our Resources page.
