My Mission
Welcome to The Timeless Dog Community! I am are here to help with your basic dog training questions. I also specialize in helping with aggressive behavior. Having worked in the dog training world for almost 8 years now I have experience working with a wide variety of dogs. I myself have a reactive dog, CJ, who I love dearly and have helped him make peace with the world around him and learn to enjoy being a dog. It can be challenging especially when you have one of the breeds that has the "look" and everyone seems to judge based on that "look" alone. I can help you work through that feeling that we experience on the human end of the leash.
