The Trekking Dog Trainer
​& The Trekking Vet Tech

How am I different?

I offer an integrative & holistic approach to my students, for:
training, behavioral modification, petsitting, and veterinary technician services.

I work routinely with dogs & cats, but have also worked with birds, rats, horses, and even fish!


I consult WORLDWIDE to help my students, some I have never met because of the distance, but we can still personalize programs.
​As of November, 2022, I am in the Phoenix, Arizona area.
​
Also... I TRAVEL! As I trek through your area, I can meet you at your home, a local park, store, vet, or anywhere pet friendly to offer in-person lessons as well!


I have certifications and specializations in several areas as well as vast experience in both the behavioral field and veterinary medicine, including: Fear Free & Cooperative Care training programs, Puppy S.T.A.R. programs, general practice & emergency/critical care veterinary medicine, nutrition and weight loss programs, Canine Good Citizen and Tricks evaluation ... and many more!
For more enrichment, instructional videos, tips, tricks, and more, we offer monthly Training Memberships with no contracts at:
