Certified Professional Trainer
Tracy's career actually began in the classroom. Her learning environment was one of care and trust - but also structure. The desire to help dogs evolved with her own adopted dogs and the pasts that they needed to overcome. This ultimately led to volunteering at shelters wanting to help more dogs, starting with walking, and eventually mentoring other volunteers and leading humane education classes at local schools. Tracy really wanted to learn dog training methods, so an education of science backed, positive reinforcement based learning was the next logical step through internships, scholarships and study. Dogs learn best in an environment much like ours - with care, trust, and structure. The power of positive training truly deepens your relationship with your dog, regardless of their age or past.
Tracy has her CPDT-KA, is a Canine Training Professional Member of the Pet Professional Guild, and a doggone safe Dog Bite Safety Educator.
