Why Acclaimed Canine Training
Expertise
For the past 10 years, Abby has helped dogs of all breeds and ages learn to be well-behaved, obedient, and happy companions.
As a graduate of the National K-9 Learning Center in Columbus, Ohio and the Off Leash K9 Headquarters Training Academy in Woodbridge, Virginia, she’s a professional dog trainer specialized in obedience training.
Abby is an honors graduate of Old Dominion University with a Bachelor’s in Sociology and Criminal Justice. She lives in Brandon with her husband, their 2 daughters, 3 dogs, and 15 chickens.
Approach
When choosing a dog trainer, it’s important to look for someone experienced, positive, and able to adopt a customized approach to training that carefully considers the individual temperament and behavior patterns of each dog. Argo (left) and Kondor (right) agree!
From helping families introduce their dogs to their newborns, to assisting dogs walk down the aisle at their owner’s wedding, I’ve taught hundreds of dogs various behaviors and commands, as well as helped correct any problematic behaviors.

Bayley
“Because of Abby’s expert training, our dog has been able to become a therapy dog in less than one month. Bayley is now registered as an AKC Therapy dog and makes bi-monthly visits to area nursing homes and hospitals. She’s also now the mascot for the Tampa airport USO and does interaction with USO service members and families. Calm, cool, and totally confident.”
~ B. Bartley
Tyson
“Abby was so good with our Rottweiler Tyson! We had taken him to a few different trainers without much success. Abby had him listening to commands and being a gentleman out in public (that had never been the case). She truly loves what she does and loves dogs!! Tyson could tell and it made such a difference!”
~ Michelle J.
Roscoe
“Abby is a wonderful trainer! We did board and train Roscoe was 6 months old. He knew his commands cold! He still does everything she taught him. We go camping and he is perfectly behaved! I recommend Abby to everyone we meet with and unruly pup!”
~ Karen A.
Kaia
“Abby did an amazing job with our 6 month old German Shepherd, Kaia. After the 2 week board and train, Kaia is a much more confident and consistent dog both on and off leash. We are thrilled with her progress, and highly recommend Abby for training and boarding! If we get second dog, we will be bringing her to Abby, and that says it all.”
~ Celsey G.
Salty
“Abby trained Salty off leash when he was 9 months old. We knew he was going to be a big and strong boy. We were so impressed the first time he was trained that we requested her again for the advanced training. He is now 100 lbs and is a calm giant. Everywhere we take him, he is very obedient and those that meet him say, “he is the best & calmest dog ever”. We would like to thank Abby for helping us train him correctly.”
