Hi, I'm Felicia

I’ve been immersed in the dog world for over 20 years. It all started when I was 9, showing in conformation Junior Handling with a Schipperke, and by 11, I had my first show dog. I went on to handle my Bouvier des Flandres to his American, Canadian, and United Kennel Club Championships, as well as a few Rally titles.

 

But it wasn’t all smooth sailing. Some behavior challenges with my Bouvier opened the door to a whole new side of the dog world—obedience training. From there, I dove into sport dog training (IPO/Schutzhund) and behavioral evaluations/modification. For over a decade, I specialized in training reactive and aggressive dogs, gaining invaluable experience along the way.

 

Dogs have always been my passion, and they've been woven into every part of my life. I've been fortunate to have mentors—other trainers—who’ve poured their knowledge into me, pushed me to grow, and continuously challenged me to be better.

 

A little more about me personally—I'm a mom to two beautiful little girls, Elsie and Dixie. I’m married to my best friend and biggest supporter, Matthew. Our house is full of life with five dogs: Trigger, an English pointer mix; Naughty, a wire-haired pointing Griffon; Rhett, a yellow lab; Sky (affectionately known as Sky-Sky), a German Shepherd; and last but definitely not least, Reagan, a Pomeranian mix. When I’m not working with dogs, you can usually find me with family and friends, thrifting, outside - soaking in the beauty of nature, or working on my computer doing artsy stuff.
