About

Hey! I’m Kerry —

I’m a certified dog trainer, member of the International Association for Canine Professionals, and a graduate of the National K9 School for Dog Trainers.

I’ve just moved to Nederland with my border collie, Farrah. She wasn’t always a “proper” pup, but after working with her using my go-to training methods - she’s a super lovable & well-behaved companion.

I got into this line of work because I believe I have a natural understanding of dog behaviors, and a genuine care for their well-being. I would love the opportunity to help you understand your K9’s behaviors as well!
