SUMMARY OF QUALIFICATIONS:

Self employed dog trainer since September 2004. Trained and handled approximately 250 dogs since inception in private one on one training programs. (last updated 2/10/2011).

Volunteered with Doberman Rescue Unlimited to train and handle dogs in the training program. Hours spent training and handling have been roughly 360 hours. I volunteered to maintain or upkeep the training of approximately 11 Dobermans in the program. In addition I trained basic obedience exercises to roughly 15 Dobermans. Total dogs handled and trained in the program have been roughly 26 Dobermans.

Socialized and handled dogs at two local animal shelters, Worcester Animal Rescue League and Animal Shelter Inc. Hours spent socializing and handling have been roughly 600 hours. Numbers of dogs socialized and handled have been roughly 150 of various breeds.

Strong belief in the power of training to be the cement that improves the relationship between dog and owner, and thus reduces the incident of dogs being abandoned, dropped off, or returned to shelters.
