Meet Doribeth, a true animal enthusiast on a mission to strengthen the special bond between humans and their furry friends. With a knack for obedience training and a passion for agility competitions, Doribeth has teamed up with various dog and cat rescues, putting smiles on both pet and owner faces. Her mantra is simple: dogs should seamlessly fit into their owners' lives, and training sessions? Well, those are meant to be nothing short of a good time.
Growing up surrounded by a lively crew of dogs, cats, rats, birds, and fish, Doribeth's love for animals sparked a journey that includes training a service dog and guiding numerous pups through agility courses. In 2001, she kicked off her own training business in sunny Los Angeles, focusing on tailoring their approach to each dog's unique strengths, preventing any chance of furry friends ending up in shelters. With insights gained from mentors like Jean-Claude Balu of Balu Academy, Doribeth's adventure took them from the bustling streets of New York City to the sun-soaked landscapes of Los Angeles. Doribeth continues to share her expertise in obedience and agility, all while keeping the vibe friendly and the tails wagging.
