About
I am a CPDT-KA (Certified Professional Dog Trainer - Knowledge Assessed) and PST-CI (Predation Substitute Training - Certified Instructor) working in Madison, WI, USA. I do group classes in puppy & basic manners skills, private training for newly adopted puppies & dogs, and a walk & train service for reactive or fearful dogs as well as puppies needing practice & socialization. I became a PST-CI in 2025 and am excited to offer predation substitute training services starting this year! I have two dogs - Copper, 11, a GSP, and Hazel, 4, a Coonhound/Mountain Cur mix. I grew up around gun dog breeds and while I am not a hunter, I love to watch dogs use their noses and find joy in nature. I have a BS in Conservation Biology, Environmental Studies, and Community & Environmental Sociology (University of Wisconsin - Madison, 2014). I have always had a passion for working with animals and in high school, even raised a puppy for Leader Dogs for the Blind, who went on to become a service dog. After adopting my dog, Copper, I knew I needed more experience and help than what I had ever had access to growing up, and once I began training with him, I loved it and wanted to help others, too. I am a member of Pet Professionals Guild, as well as Force Free Trainers of Wisconsin, both of which hold me to force-free training standards, about which I am very passionate. I am also certified in pet CPR & first aid. You can view more of my services at our website, https://TeachersPetTraining.com/
