LINDA PORTER
I have had a lifelong passion for dogs. I have owned, worked with, trained, and cared for them throughout my life. In my early 20s, I began working at a local animal shelter and eventually became a veterinary technician. For six years, I worked at the shelter caring for all kinds of sick, injured, and homeless animals. After that, I became an animal control officer, where many of my duties involved dealing with animals in public safety settings, handling cases of cruelty and aggression in dogs, and enforcing state and local animal codes.
After six years as an ACO, I moved on to become a police officer. Over 15 years, I worked as a K9 officer for several different law enforcement agencies. During this time, I trained police dogs in various disciplines, including tracking, detection, obedience, and apprehension.
After leaving law enforcement, my husband and I opened the first tracking dog training school in Colorado. We still offer classes to law enforcement and search and rescue K9 teams.
I am committed to staying current with the latest dog training methods and techniques. Over the years, I have traveled across the US and parts of Europe to learn from the best dog trainers and dog training schools. I have attended several high-level professional dog training schools and hold certifications in obedience training, managing and modifying dog aggression, addressing behavior challenges, and helping fearful dogs.
Now, my focus is on helping pet dog owners train their dogs and address behavior issues. I coach people to train their dogs in basic obedience behaviors, help to rehabilitate fearful dogs, work with aggression issues, and educate people about how dogs learn. Through our programs, I help dogs and people learn skills that build confidence, create communication, and establish strong bonds.
Over the years, I have helped many dogs and their owners coexist in harmony.
