Meet the Trainer

I grew up in the Midwest, surrounded by various animals since I was five. My interest in dog behavior started when I was 10. After graduating from college with a BA in Communications, I became a registered handler for Therapy Dogs Inc. and a member of the APDT. I have a background in obedience competition, with titles earned by my dogs, such as ACK-CGC, UKC-UCD, and others. I also worked as an assistant instructor at a well-known dog training facility in Woodinville for two years, in 1993 and 1994. For five years, I worked as a nutrition consultant for Nature's Variety Pet Foods and attended numerous seminars on nutrition and dog training to keep my clients informed about the best choices for their pets.

At K9Crazy, we offer professional dog training services as well as other services in the Seattle, North Seattle, and Eastside areas. We understand that you may need to give your furry friend a break during the day and that's why we provide dog walking/exercise visits. We can also arrange a trip to a local park if desired. Additionally, we offer dog boarding services in Maggie's home where your furry baby will be taken care of in a family-style environment to ensure the utmost comfort.

I recall the time when my family and I went to the animal shelter to adopt our first family dog named "Nellie". She was 1 year old when we took her home and she lived with us for 19 years until her last day. She was a true and loyal friend. I have always had pets, both cats and dogs, in my life, and I cannot imagine a life without them. They have taught me many valuable lessons, and they continue to do so.

I have been actively training dogs and their owners in the Seattle region for 25 years now, and I have made lifelong friends along the way. I learn new things from the people and dogs I meet in each new family I train with, and I pass along my knowledge to them.
