I have owned, worked with, trained, and loved dogs all my life. In my early 20s, I started working at a local animal shelter and eventually became a veterinary technician caring for all types of homeless sick, and injured animals that came into the shelter. After 6 years working as a vet tech, I moved on and became an animal control officer where many of my duties involved dealing with animals in a public safety setting, handling cruelty and aggressive dog cases, and enforcing laws pertaining to state and local animal code.
After spending 6-years as an ACO, it was a natural progression for me to move on and become a police officer and eventually a K9 officer for several different law enforcement agencies over a 15-year period where I worked and trained police dogs in many different disciplines to include tracking, detection, obedience, and apprehension.
After leaving law enforcement, my husband and I opened the first tracking dog training school in the state of Colorado and currently still offer classes to law enforcement and search and rescue K9 teams.
The dog training world is constantly changing as we learn more about our canine companions. I have traveled the US and parts of Europe seeking out the best dog trainers, training schools, and professional dog training coaches to learn new skills, and stay current on any new science or methodology that would enable me to evolve and grow as a professional dog trainer and understand dogs better. I have attended a number of high-level professional dog training schools and hold several certifications that apply to obedience training, managing and modifying dog aggression, addressing behavior challenges, and helping fearful dogs.
My path now is to educate pet dog owners in all things dog. My focus is on training pet dogs, coaching people to train basic dog obedience behaviors, helping to rehabilitate fearful dogs, working with aggression issues and educating and enlightening people about how dogs learn and how best to teach them. Through our programs, I help both dogs and people learn skills that build confidence, create communication and establish strong bonds with their dogs so they can reach their training goals while keeping the dog/human relationship intact.
In my years as a dog trainer, I have trained many dogs and people and helped them to better coexist with their chosen companions.

Drop-off dog training and socialization program for puppies 8 to 16 weeks of age. Class availability is subject to enrollment levels.
For Law Enforcement and Search & Rescue K9 Teams
Please contact us if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Does not apply to PPDT programs.
For puppies up to 16 weeks, if you must choose one over the other, socialization should be a top priority. Obedience can be taught at any time but your puppy's brain development drives the socialization timeline and this time frame expires around 16 weeks. If you can do both at the same time, that is your best option. Our Superstar Puppy Training Program covers, field trips for socialization and environmental exposure, light obedience training, and support and management strategies for potty training, crate training, and puppy chewing and biting. MORE INFO.
Our Puppy Foundational Obedience & Life Skills Coaching Class focuses on teaching owners how to train their puppies in basic obedience movements like sit come, down and how to walk on a leash and covers puppy management strategies for potty training, crate training, biting, and chewing behaviors. This is a fun class and a great choice for owners that want some coaching on how to get their puppy started on some basic obedience skills. MORE INFO.
PPDT (Personalized Professional Dog Training) Our trainers train your dog for you and then we work with you at the end of the process to transfer skills and teach you how to maintain your dog's training. This option allows us to customize your training based on what you need and address more complicated issues you may be having with your dog. You must call us to schedule PPDT.
Canine Training Academy guarantees your dog will be trained ethically and humanely. We guarantee that our training methods are well-vetted techniques and that we will apply training plans for your dog that are goal-oriented, achievable, and safe, while always working toward long-term behavioral refinement and improvement.
Ethically, we cannot guarantee anything further. As with any living creature, we cannot always predict how your dog will behave in every situation. Guarantees in training or behavior modification are not always possible as behavior can change in response to the environment. Many things can contribute to behavior changes in your dog, for instance; medical problems, household and owner compliance, environmental conditions or stimuli, and emotional responses created by repeated exposure to environmental triggers can all cause behaviors to change at any time. Therefore guarantees are just not possible or ethical.
