Tiffany has spent her whole life working with dogs. As a small child, she trained the family dogs, and started working at the local animal shelter as a teen. At age 16, she started teaching dog obedience classes, and has helped people and dogs improve their relationships for over 20 years now. She has titled several dogs in obedience, agility, rally, and conformation, including the first Anatolian Shepherd to have both conformation championship and rally titles. She has a special love for the “difficult breeds” and puppies of all types. Tiffany shares her life with her husband, Alex, daughter Ravenna, son Saxon and their dogs, cats, and reptiles.
Heather is a life-long animal lover and has been privately and professionally training dogs since 2010 During her time as a dog trainer and shelter volunteer she has found herself loving with all breeds and personalities of dogs, but has always gravitated towards nervous, anxious, and fear-aggressive dogs. This often comes in the form of misunderstood small breeds. Over her tenure in animal care, she has fostered and worked with dogs of all shapes and sizes. In addition to her two Animal Science degrees, she has attended CATCH Canine Trainers Academy, and is an AKC Canine Good Citizen evaluator.
Heather enthusiastically utilizes force-free training practices to teach owners to train their dogs to become the best versions of themselves. Heather lives with her husband, three chihuahuas, an elderly beagle, and foster animals.
Evan has always surrounded himself with animals and has worked with them as a trainer and a groomer. He has competed in obedience and agility with his own dogs and is currently attending CATCH academy. Evan owns two Pomeranians, a cat (who’s also clicker trained!), three snakes, a gecko and a tarantula. In his spare time, Evan enjoys music, gaming and exploring the outdoors.

Dani has grown up around dogs since childhood. She volunteered at the local humane society in high school. And by college, she started fostering dogs. She has had a revolving door of foster dogs coming and going ever since then. She worked at a pet boarding/grooming/daycare facility for 8 years where she worked with the dogs and the customers. Dani shares her home with her husband Jacob and their three dogs named Brian, Rumor, and Echo. Dani also has one cat, named Chloe, and numerous foster dogs. In her free time, Dani enjoys watching movies on Netflix and exploring new trails with her dogs.
Since becoming a dog owner in 1997, Pattie has loved learning how to communicate with dogs. While working at a veterinary hospital, she was introduced to clicker training by a behaviorist, and knew positive training was what she wanted to do. She has a wide scope of knowledge and has taught everything from puppy classes to tricks, and cooperative care holds a special place in her heart. Helping her own dog who strongly objected to vet care to be more comfortable made her want to help more dogs with vet and grooming challenges.
Over the years, she has had pets of all kinds, including a Parrot for 32 years, as well as fish, hamsters, guinea pigs and currently shares her home with two Papillons (Mickey and Tiki), two freshwater aquariums and three Jumping Spiders ( named after Supernatural characters- another passion of hers).When she isn’t training dogs or other critters, she enjoys crafting of all kinds, painting dog portraits and creating 2D and 3D dogs using needle felting.
Sara has over 18 years working in the veterinary field, both in the office and with animals. She and her family share their home with a dog and a cat, Franny and Cannoli, and many foster bunnies.
From childhood, Taylor exhibited a passion for dogs. She grew up in Colorado taking her own dogs to obedience classes. In 2016 she decided to begin her journey as a professional, positive reinforcement-based trainer. Before moving to Ohio, Taylor spent two years training service dogs for veterans and children with disabilities. She has a passion for “difficult” dog breeds and senior dogs. In her spare time, Taylor enjoys exploring hiking trails with her dogs.
Raechel grew up with dogs, including German Shepherds, a Brittany/Border Collie mix, and a Beagle mix. Currently, her household includes three cats and three dogs- Boomer, Ava, and her personal service dog, Gracie.
Raechel became interested in dog training in 2020 when Gracie began showing an ability to respond to her emotional needs. Raechel started researching and exploring how to train a dog for service work and eventually trained Gracie through a program. Gracie responded well under Raechel’s guidance as she participated in both group and individual training sessions. Raechel and Gracie have been a service dog team since May 2021.
Gracie holds her AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC), Canine Good Citizen Advanced (CGCA), Canine Good Citizen Urban (CGCU), Trick Dog Novice (TKN), and Trick Dog Intermediate (TKI) titles. Ava, has earned her CGC, CGCA, CGCU, TKN, and TKI titles, as well as a North American Dock Diving Novice title, with a personal best of 12 feet 3 inches. Raechel and Ava continue to compete in Obedience and Scent Work.
Originally from Denver, Sheridan is a dog trainer and illustrator who believes dogs are one of the greatest gifts to humans. She’s passionate about helping them live happier, more fulfilling lives and helping people better understand how their dogs think. With her two Miniature Schnauzers, Truffaut and Chip, she brings a kind, clear, and fun approach to training. When she’s not working with dogs, she’s exploring Columbus with her partner or creating new art.
