Focused Dog Training
Hello Friends! I'm Faith- lead trainer over here at Dog Daze.
A little about me: I'm originally from Illinois, around the Chicagoland area, and landed in Kalamazoo to attend business school at WMU a few years back.
Growing up, dogs were always a big part of my life. However, adult life with dogs is far different than I could've dreamed. 3 years ago, I brought home my very first personal dog, Koda, and learned so much more than I thought I knew. After Koda came Nova, my heart dog. Nova was what changed everything. Taking on a reactive female German Shepherd sparked my passion for training and has pushed me to be the owner and trainer I am today. And our final addition Kenai, who has made our pack whole!
I've been working professionally in the training and dog care world in Southwest MI for the past 3 years. My passion lies in working with high-energy dogs, as I engage in various sports and activities with my own pets. Moreover, I have a deep empathy for reactive dogs and understand their unique requirements. I believe in actively pursuing opportunities to build skills and improve techniques at every turn, as the training world is ever evolving.
My training style focuses on first building a strong relationship with your dog, then working together as a team to find what may work best for your specific dog. Here at Dog Daze, we believe in balanced training to provide clear and effective communication in a way our dogs understand. We are here to help!
I can't wait to grow with you - Happy Training 🐾
