About The Smiling Dog
Canine Expertise At Your Front Door!
In 2004, I founded The Smiling Dog, LLC on the idea that dog training should be FUN for both the dog and their humans!
I had the unique opportunity of becoming a Wolf Trainer at Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, Virginia. That's me with a Grey Wolf named Willow muzzle greeting me (showering me with kisses!). As a Professional Animal Trainer I acquired an in-depth understanding of canine behavior. I have incorporated my amazing Wolf Training experiences into my personalized dog training methods! I make training fun, using games and humor to help you and your dog understand each other better.
I truly enjoy helping my clients unlock the secrets to their dog’s unique behavior. It is my hope to help you and your dog reach your full potential. 💗🐾
