My Story
My name is Suzie and I have been handling dogs for over 10 years. When I’m not helping pets be their best I’m out hiking, camping, training and competing in AKC dog sports like Obedience, Rally, Fastcat, and Conformation with my Siberian Huskies. My goal is to make the experience fun, positive, and as least amount of stressful for the pet as possible.
I train using LIMA based training.

This works by training and adapting to the dog in front of you. Some dogs require tools like prong collars to help set them up for success others just need a flat collar. Whatever method we use for your dog we condition the tool using treats and making it a positive association. Using treats and positive reinforcement is important in dog training. My job is to teach you about timing, holding boundaries, and strengthen your bond with your dog(s).

Akira
is a 12 years old Siberian Husky and is a rescue dog. She is what sparked my love for dog training and trialing in different dog sports. Akira has a championship in AKC Rally, the 5th ever Siberian to achieve this title. She has multiple High Combined Triples, and has qualified for RNC in the Champion class muliple times.
Akira is happily retired these days! She loves to nap while we camp and takes up most of the bed.
