Lead Trainer
I grew up in southern Arizona where my husband and I met before he joined the Air Force. My father was a civilian K9 police officer and I always enjoyed working with his partner after he brought her home for good. I began working with animals as soon as I could by frequently visiting a family owned pet store near my home until I was old enough for them to hire me. I also worked at a boarding facility where I eventually learned to groom pets. When my husbands military career took us to Lackland AFB in San Antonio, TX I heard about the Military Working Dog Puppy in Training Foster Volunteer Program. As a foster volunteer we keep the puppies, typically Belgian Malinois or Dutch Shepherds, until they are about 7 months old and officially report for duty. During their time with fosters we help build their foundation by exposing them to various environmental stimulus, socialization, confidence building, bringing them to monthly training and any veterinarian appointments needed. My passion for working with dogs was reignited. I enjoyed being educated by the trainers at the program and guest trainers they brought in. Wanting to learn more, I enrolled in an intensive obedience course through the internationally renowned Michael Ellis School for Dog Trainers. After my husband retired from the Air Force and our 2 boys moved out on their own we moved to the Great Falls area. We enjoy semi retired life with our 3 dogs; 2 Belgian Malinois, a Great Pyrenees mix, and our growing homestead!
