Did the beginner agility course and could not be more impressed
Eileen is so compassionate. As a newer trainer, I have so much to learn and even though Eileen has way more experience and education than I do she never makes me feel less-than and is always willing to chat with me and help me. If I can grow to be as good as Eileen at helping people and their dogs, I will consider myself accomplished. If you are someone looking for a trainer, consider this a glowing endorsement from someone who is working towards being a trainer themselves.
As a dog trainer that's relatively new to the field, Eileen's empathy for people and animals are precisely why she makes a great role model for someone in my position. This industry needs more people like her who seek to fully understand dogs and use that knowledge with a compassionate lense to help them on their journey.
