About Us
Charlotte's Most Trusted Dog Trainer
Hi, my name is Teri! I am a small business owner here in Charlotte. I started my career working with animals in 2005 at a small veterinary clinic in Colorado. As a veterinary assistant, I learned all aspects of how to care for our companion animal's health and wellbeing. After six years in a veterinary setting, I decided to expand my knowledge by joining the Boulder, Co animal control unit as an officer. During my tenure, I earned state certifications in identifying dog breeds and reading canine body language leading to a greater understanding of human/canine interaction.
In my experience in both classical and modern techniques, I have found that no one method works for all animals. I believe strongly in adapting to a specific animal's needs and cues and those of each owner. By assessing your unique goals and circumstances, I have found success in adapting my lesson plans to you instead of following a one-size-fits-all routine.
