I am passionate about helping pups and their people! I am a Certified Dog Trainer through CATCH Canine Training Academy and also possess a Master’s Degree in Childhood Education. This puts me in a unique position to understand not only how dogs think and learn, but to understand the learning process in humans. That combination allows me to help you and your dog to achieve success in a training program! 

I am a member of and pursue ongoing education through the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT). I have volunteered at the Big (and Little) Dog Ranch Rescue in Loxahatchee, Florida where I interacted with the puppies to provide important socialization and mental stimulation, walked dogs, and performed a variety of other duties.

I am also a Certified Professional Pet Sitter with my own pet sitting business Debra’s Dog Den, LLC specializing in overnight pet sitting. My pet sitting business has afforded me great experience and exposure to a wide variety of dog breeds, ages, sizes, sexes, temperaments, and learning patterns.
