I became a serious student of canine behavioral training in the late ‘80s to early ‘90s. I proceeded to work with a number of dogs and joined my first working dog club in 1992, the Meridian Rottweiler League. I have been in the dog training business since then. During the early years at the club, I got deeply involved with security dogs. I was the training director for the club from 1993 through 1996, working with the dogs and coaching their owners. I trained everything from new pups to correcting older dogs for obedience to advanced Schutzhund sport and security dog training. I have continued to work with problem dogs and helped owners by coaching them in the dog sport and private in-home lesson for obedience.
