Toni earned her certification as a professional dog trainer in 2005 and continues to train today. She is an American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen Evaluator, a Certified Separation Anxiety trainer (CSAT) and volunteers for several dog rescue organizations. Toni has trained thousands of dogs and uses positive reinforcement to train obedience.
Before coming to Dogwise Academy Toni owned her own successful training, walking and pet sitting business based in Washington D.C. After 17 years of growing the company, Toni downsized and moved to California. She now focuses on Board and Train programs, basic obedience, and agility training. Toni continues to assist local rescue organizations in Northern California and volunteers for the UC Davis’ hospital program PHUR (Pets Help Us Recover).
