So, let’s get on it and get you back to living and enjoying your dog. I have been training dogs all my life, literally. And now my adult children are training dogs with me too! My Mom trained dogs, and that is what started me on this track. As an adult, I opened a dog training facility and a wildlife refuge. I am also a life coach, helping people in any kind of situation and succeed. Dog training and life coaching go together very well as I am training you as well as the dog. This is also very useful when training therapy and service dogs and can often help relieve some issues of the human as the training is therapeutic for you too. In my refuge, I would get dogs that nobody wanted, hard to train or aggressive dogs and from the pound. I would rehabilitate them at my own cost. I was able to adopt eve!ry one of those dogs out to a loving home. I love a challenge. Because of this, I have worked with many different dogs in just about every situation you can imagine. I have worked with all kinds of breeds of dogs. From Chihuahua, Jack Russel, Dachshund to Great Dane, Roti, Pitbull, Mastiff, Chow, German Shepard, Jindo, Corgi, Frenchies, Ridgeback, Terriers, Mutipoo, Labradoodle, Golden doodle, Burna doodle, Malinois, Yorkie, Xoloitzcuintle, mexican hairless, Husky, Pomeranian, Pug, Bulldog, Shiba Inu, Beagle, Basset hound, Doberman, Cane Corso, Great Pyrenees, Boxer, Samoyed, Shar Pei, Cavalier King Charles, Bichon Frise, Havenese, Basenji, Grey hound, Weimaraner, Pekingese, Mimi Schnauzer, Akita, Alaskan Malamute, Eskimo to name a few. I have extensive background with hard to train dogs that have behavioral issues. My techniques will fast track you and your dog to becoming a team. I have studied many different styles in my life, so I'm able to come up with a training technique and/or plan that will fit you and your dog to get the outcome we want. Every dog and situation are different, so I will customize your plan to fit your specific needs and goals. The number of session can vary depending on the problems we are addressing, so the number of sessions can differ widely. There are other fees depending on the services you need.

Stacey is an amazing dog trainer! I live with 4 dogs that would fight and had to be separated for years. I had doubts that training them would resolve the fighting, because past trainers i used didn’t help, but when I met Stacey she proved that the training worked. After the first lesson they were able to be in the same room without fighting, and went on walks together. She also taught us how to walk the dogs properly. Now the dogs are much better and we have peace in the house. They are a pack now.

Stacy has been fabulous. She has taught me so much about how a dog's mind works. After the first visit. my dog, Archie, did much better by me following what she did with him. Before we hired Stacy, Archie would bark at visitors, especially my grandson. After our first session, following her instructions, his barking was significantly reduced and continues to improve. After the 2nd visit, he (and I) am learning new behaviors, like how to walk with him. He is always responding(he is pretty smart) and is make our walks so much more enjoyable. I am seeing how much happier Archie is by Stacy's training, and so are we. Thak you Stacy!

For unrelated reasons, we didn’t actually hire a puppy trainer. However, I had an excellent experience coordinating with and speaking to Stacey. The initial discussion/phone call we had revealed that she is clearly very knowledgeable, genuinely interested, and charismatic about training dogs. She walked me through what to expect as my dog grows up at the different stages of its life and the things I needed to watch out for. She was very friendly and confident in her approach, and I highly recommend her for new dog owners!

I’m so glad I finally decided to hire a trainer for my dog. She came to my house and explained how to train Luna with examples and the psychology behind why dogs react the way they do. Luna has improved so much that I can even walk her off leash now. As long as you actually listen to Stacy’s instructions, your dog will see amazing improvement!

Stacy is an amazing dog trainer. We had our puppy do board and train with her and our puppy came back better than we could have ever hoped. Our puppy came back crate trained, and able to go to the bathroom on command. We look forward to continued training sessions to keep up her skills. We couldn't be happier!
