Cyndy, Olivia CGC
I grew up with Beagles and graduated to Dalmatians when I was old enough to choose my own breed. For more than 20 years, my Dalmatians have participated in dog sports and served as canine goodwill ambassadors at children’s parties and public events.

I trained my female Dalmatian, Olivia in obedience and when training was completed, Olivia earned her AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate. Kramer, my male Dalmatian, was a dog show champion and as his handler, he won several AKC Best of Breed awards. I've trained Kramer for personal appearances, film and photo shoots.

A passionate dog lover all my life, I'm also an Animal Behavior College Certified Dog Trainer and certified by the Council for Certification of Professional Dog Trainers by earning their CPDT-KA designation
. I thoroughly enjoy every minute I spend training others and look at each session as a learning experience.

My goal is to help people with their problem dogs, and to solve canine behavior problems that threaten to send otherwise good dogs to shelters. I want help open the channels of communication between owners and dogs and to use the knowledge and experience I have to help keep dogs and owners remain together, happily ever after.
