I am excited to be working with Jenny’s House of Dogs to bring high quality training to Northcentral, WI. In the past I have instructed obedience and canine psychology courses through Northcentral Technical College and obedience through local 4-H programs. I have also competed in obedience and agility with my dogs. My current dogs hold AKC titles from: STAR puppy, Canine Good Citizen, and Therapy Dog.
I hold two Bachelor of Science degrees from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point (UWSP) in Biology and Psychology. One of my main focuses was animal behavior. I studied under Dr. Plonsky a psychologist at UWSP who specialized in canine behavior and training. Though my course of study I learned the evolution of dog from predatory (wolf) to our best friend, canine behavior, and communication (different training methods). I also hold a master’s degree in career and technical education from the University of Wisconsin-Stout. This is where I am able to connect training a canine with training the human in which they belong to. It is just as important to be able to train the dog the command as it is to teach the human who will be in charge of giving it.
My preferred training method is using positive reinforcement. With this training style our canine companions are rewarded with toys, treats, and praise when doing the command asked of them. Rewarding the correct behavior encourages our canine companion to do the command again.
While I have worked with several breeds of dogs over the years. I primarily specialize in high energy and herding breed dogs. I currently have two Australian Cattle Dogs (ACD); Bailey (9 years) and Busy (3 years). ACD’s are in the top 10 dogs surrendered to shelters. Bailey was acquired through means of a family unable to manage her behavior as a young dog. I adopted Busy through Clark County Humane Society as a puppy who was seized from illegal activity.
I recognize that every dog and handler team to be unique. My mission is to build confidence in not only the dog but the handler through interactive, humane, and consistent training. .
