Background
I began my training career at secondary school, throwing birds for a field trial trainer, little did I know he was guiding me towards my future. I've been training dogs for the past 7 years, but I've been around dogs all my life. I was raised around retrievers, but it wasn't until university that I discovered my passion for training. I graduated from the University of Georgia in 2010 with a Bachelor's in Forestry and a Master's in Wildlife Management. My education and childhood experiences have enabled me to understand dogs and tailor my training to meet the individual needs of each dog that comes through our kennel. I have trained multiple Hunting Retriever Champions, Master Hunters, qualified dogs of all ages and competed in the Grand Hunting Retriever Championship.
I have trained with numerous professionals across Georgia, Florida, and South Carolina, attended seminars, and continue to enhance my knowledge of training retrievers every day. If there's one thing I've learnt over the years, it's that you'll never know everything when it comes to dog training. Every dog you encounter will present a new obstacle and challenge. It is my experience, knowledge, and ability to read animals that enables me to be successful. I praise God for the talents he's blessed me with and look forward to meeting many new dogs and forming friendships in the years ahead.
Why I Use SportDOG Brand
I use SportDOG Brand equipment because I only use the best for my dogs. I’ve used all other training collars out there and SportDOG is by far the best. At my kennel, I need a collar that can meet the stimulation requirements of some of the softest dogs to the toughest. No other collar company has a collar that can do that. SportDOG truly cares about all breeds of dogs. The staff at SportDOG has gone out of their way to accommodate me and make sure I have what I need in order to be successful.
Favourite Products
My favourite piece of SportDOG Brand equipment is the SD-2525; this collar is one of the reasons for our success. Its ability to do low, medium, and high stimulation output on the collar itself, as well as on the transmitter, allows me to push dogs through our programme that used to not be able to because our collar was either too hot or too soft.
