ABOUT RAYNA,
the Trainer

"My name is Rayna, Certified Dog Trainer! 

I have been a wanna-be dog trainer for over 16 years. My inspiration to train dogs basically started when my husband and I adopted a 3 month old rescue, german shepherd cross, (with at least, either some Rotti or Doberman in him). We named him, Brock! He weighed 120+ lbs in his prime. He was full of energy and a bit crazy from the unknown start to his life. He was very reactive and would lunge at pretty much anything or anyone that came too close, while on the leash. He would also resource guard in the yard in our backyard. 

Now I’m fulfilling my dream as a certified dog trainer! I’m able to walk, talk and sleep dog language and understand so much more of their behaviours, as to why or how come they do what they do. I believe that Brock was teaching me patience and more about myself, as well as, becoming very aware of what each different dog needs in all areas of their training, nutrition, and socialization. 

I also have my Pet Massage Therapist Certificate, and a Fear Free Shelters Certificate. I’m a member of APDT and CAPDT
