The Team

I’m Vely (pronounced vee-lie), a CTA Certified Dog Trainer (CCDT) accredited through Catch Canine Trainers Academy. I’m also pet first aid and CPR certified. I use rewards based training methods, that means no aversives such as prongs or electronic collars.

 

My journey to dog training started in 2019 when I rescued Mr. Wilson, a 4 month old toy Aussie that recently recovered from a fractured leg. After teaching Mr. Wilson over 100 tricks, I rescued a Border Collie (Astrid) and began teaching her tricks as well. When undesired behaviors arose with my dogs, I dabbled into behavior modification training. I soon realized I had a passion for dog training and wanted to help other pet owners build a strong relationship with their dog as I did with Mr. Wilson whom became my heart and soul dog.

 

In 2021 I began offering overnight boarding/day care at my home and fostered for a rescue to gain experience with different breeds while continuing my canine education. A year later, I began offering dog training services. I specialize in puppy training, trick training, obedience behaviors, and mild reactivity/ behavior modifications. In my spare time I enjoy traveling, skateboarding with my dogs, going to concerts, and spending time with my husband and our family of 4 dogs. I look forward to helping you bring out the best in your dog and cultivate a fun and loving relationship. 💟
