Dog training & Behavior modification in South Austin Texas!
Specializing in "Misunderstood" Dogs!
I have been training and rehabilitating dogs deemed aggressive, unadoptable or vicious for the last 15 years. I started out as a veterinary technician 20 years ago and went into grooming "misunderstood" dogs. I owned a thriving dog grooming/dog training business in NY for 13 years, where local groomers, trainers, and veterinarians would send dogs no one wanted to handle. I do not believe a dog can not be rehabilitated. My own pack includes these wonderful rescue dogs pictured above, all of which had serious aggression issues and now are all "good" citizens that help me help other dogs resolve their issues.
I moved to Austin, Texas in September 2007 & currently my partner Brandie and I are providing all stages of dog obedience classes, private sessions, aggression rehabilitation sessions, socialization classes, & treadmill training! I also work as a dog groomer at Dirty Dog South 1st location and try to enjoy all that Austin has to offer as often as possible!
