Trish has helped THOUSANDS of dogs and their owners live a happier life together with her training.
She has been training since 1976 and has found that rather than train "show dogs", her passion is helping people and dogs understand each other as family.
After working with people and their dogs for over 40 years, in a training capacity as well as as a vet tech and behavior specialist at what was the largest privately owned vet hospital in the western US, Trish KNOWS what dogs need to be able to live comfortably and safely in a human community.
People who are struggling with their dog's behavior tell Trish they KNOW they "are part of the problem". They KNOW they are missing pieces of the puzzle. THIS IS FANTASTIC, because Trish has seen so many puzzles she can always find that missing piece and help you complete the picture.
Trish specialized in puppies for 15 years and wrote and published Choosing and Raising a Puppy (How Hard Could It Be?) with the proofing and approval of over a dozen veterinarians.
Trish will not tell you your dog can be something it can't. She will tell you from the start what you can reasonably expect from your dog based on its biology, temperament, early imprinting and the behavior she sees from it. Want your dog to be a service dog but it hates people being near it? Trish will explain why your dog may or may not be ok for that job - BEFORE SHE TAKES YOUR MONEY.
Trish participates in continuing education, brainstorms and seeks out opinions and techniques from other experienced trainers on a regular basis and if your dog's puzzle piece is evading her, you can bet she'll be talking to her behaviorist colleagues in England, Bali and the US, plus trainers from all over the world to help figure it out.
Trish speaks frankly, clearly and in a non-jargon way that people find easy to understand and follow.
YOU WILL BE PUSHED to be the best person you can be for your dog. You may have to stretch out of your comfort zone.
When you hire Trish you get an advocate for your and your dog.
So, here is what the publisher thought this section should say...
ahhhhh, Trish; she was a weird (but adorable!) kid who was obsessed with training dogs almost as soon as she could walk. Lassie... RinTin Tin, when any show with a dog (or horse) was on the world came to a stop.
She read everything she could get her hands on and "trained" every dog in the neighborhood she could charm the owners into saying ok.
In the mid 1970's a famous movie animal trainer held a school for dog trainers - he hired trainers from all disciplines and Trish was lucky enough to get in!
Upon graduating the course they offered her a job and she started training for Sun King Dog Training where she was quickly made an area manager but... bigger opportunities called!
She started at Marine World Africa USA and worked with trainers of all kinds of animals (yes, including Dolphins and Killer Whales) and even trained the Vice President of the park's dog along with several others. She learned about how animals learn, how people learn and how to get the best from both of them. During the 4 years she was there, she worked with the trainers to soak up every bit of knowledge she could. Sadly, the park moved to a new location and she stayed home to pursue her passion - training dogs and their owners.
She had developed enough skill and determination to be hired by a top police, pet and termite detection dog training kennel. Her experiences working with the dogs there just fanned the flame of her desire to help even more dogs But she craved a kinder, gentler approach (a low bar back in those days!); one that was more appropriate for FAMILIES who love their dogs and just wanted them to BEHAVE. So she started her own business doing private training all over the bay area.
FLASH FORWARD-
Today Trish is training trainers all over the country and has trained well over 8,000 dogs herself.
YEP, that's a lot of dogs. But because living in the Bay Area is not like living anywhere else in the world, Trish has continued to develop new and better skills for the 40+ years since Sun King.
Trish has the experience, empathy and compassion to know what methods, techniques, tools she needs to use for each family and dog. She considers it her mission to get everyone in the family where they want to be with their dog.
At a recent trainers' conference, some of the most successful trainers in the country declared her a "holostic" trainer and, honestly, it fits. Trish won't call herself that because she's still a little weird.
But she will do everything it takes to get the results she tells you she will! When she couldn't find the right tool for a dog she INVENTED one! Welcome bodycollar!
When she couldn't find the right book, she WROTE ONE!
CHOOSING AND RAISING A PUPPY (HOW HARD COULD IT BE?)
As a vet tech for over 15 years and 10 of those at Adobe Animal Hospital, a busy 20+ dr. practice in Los Altos where she consulted with clients and doctors alike as their BEHAVIOR CONSULTANT, she learned more and more about how the relationships between health and behavior and the OWNER and behavior matter.
Trish uses LOTS of praise for both people and dogs, as well as quick and interruptive instruction if something goes off the rails.
Trish founded and sold another local dog training business that focused on public classes and with HOME SCHOOLED HOUNDS she now is focusing on REALLY getting the best LONG TERM results for every student by ONLY working with people committed to getting those results by working in a private program with her.
Trish is so experienced and confident in her techniques she can offer a LIFETIME SUPPORT GUARANTEE.
CALL NOW and get a free consultation; Trish wants to hear your story to make sure you're both going to be happy with the results before she lets anyone sign up for her unique RESET Your Dog in 45 Days program. Get started and see what's REALLY going on in that brain of your pup's and what you can expect!
