I’ve lived with and learned from dogs as long as I can remember! We always had dogs in the family when I was growing up. Our dogs were always taught the basics, and more importantly, how to be a member of the family, and how to act in public as a member of society.

I worked for almost 35 years in the kitchen cabinet industry. Owned and operated my own cabinet shop and showroom for almost 18 years, and have worked in various capacities in cabinetry design and sales since closing my cabinet shop in 1991. The passion for working with dogs has always been with me, and finally took over in September of 2007!

In 2007, I was looking for help, due to the time restraints of my job, in training a dog we had adopted. She was 8 months old at the time, and very responsive to training, but I didn’t feel that I had the time to devote to the task. We started working with a trainer that specialized in remote collar work, and I became totally hooked on the training techniques using the electronic remote collars after seeing the results, first hand. I ended up working with that trainer for 3 ½ years starting on a part-time basis, and then as a full-time trainer in 2009.

There are many methods and tools available for dog training. I have used several of them over the years – prong collars, choke collars and clickers, but none of them are a reliable and consistent method of communication between you and your dog, as are the remote training collars. The remote collar is a non-confrontational and neutral communication device.

Mutts and Manners Dog Training was officially launched in September of 2010. I specialize in low-level remote collar training, but there are many tools in the trainer’s tool box! Mutts and Manners has given me the opportunity to utilize a mix of several methods geared toward successful obedience training for your dog, and handler instruction for you.

Mutts and Manners will help you and your dog learn to communicate better, and you will be able to gain and maintain your dog’s focus and attention in all types of environmental situations, even with added distractions!

While it is important to have your dog reliably trained at home, it is vital that your dog is obedient and under control while in public, at all times!

I offer private family pet obedience lessons in your home for you and your dog.

Obedience training for any breed, size, age, or personality!  Unleash the Potential in Your Dog!
