My Journey

Meet the trainer: Gerry

As a lifelong animal lover, my journey into the world of dog training began in 2017. A semester abroad sparked a deep desire to become more than just a dog owner, leading me to pursue a career in canine behavior and training.

Professional Training and Experience

After starting a dog-sitting business, I enrolled in Starmark Academy for dog trainers to deepen my knowledge. Through years of experience, I've honed my skills in:

  • General obedience

  • Off-leash training

  • Confidence-building

  • Separation anxiety

  • Reactive and aggressive behaviors

  • Group classes

  • Agility, tricks, and scent work
