Trainer - Basic Obedience

Jesus

"I am a dog trainer with over six years of professional training experience and nine years of hands-on dog handling. My work includes pet manners, behavior modification, and working with shelter dogs, with additional experience in sport training. I have worked in both training and boarding facilities as well as shelter environments, giving me a well-rounded background with dogs of varying needs, temperaments, and histories.

I am a relationship-based trainer who focuses on helping owners develop clear communication with their dogs while building the skills and understanding needed for a successful life together. My approach emphasizes structure, clarity, and practicality, empowering owners to feel confident handling real-life situations with their pets.

I began my career in dog training after spending time working in shelters, where a particularly unfortunate case motivated me to help prevent dogs from ending up in shelters due to behavioral challenges. 

Outside of training dogs, I like to day travel, explore the world and different cultures, and learn new recipes to cook 

I currently own three dogs: Reaper, an 8-year-old retired Personal Protection German Shepherd; Nita, a 6-year-old German Shepherd pet dog; and Agave, a 2-year-old Belgian Malinois who trains in French Ring sport. Through working with Nita, who is dog-reactive, I have gained firsthand experience in successful behavior management, further shaping my training philosophy and approach."
