CREEKSIDE CANINE TRAINING CENTER
Looking for effective and reliable dog training in Southeast Kentucky? Our individualized, breed-specific, and science-based methods will help create a strong partnership with your dog. Each dog is trained with the same care and attention as if it were my own. Discover the difference with us today!
Using a reward-based scientific approach to dog training, I use my knowledge of animal behavior, canine body language, classical conditioning, and other training techniques to tailor a behavior modification program specifically for your dog based on its breed, energy, and lifestyle.
Puppies must be 12 weeks old with their first two rounds of shots, including the kennel cough vaccine, 5-in-1 (DHLPP), and rabies once they are over six months old.
Puppy Preschool & Day Training not enough?
I offer a puppy start-up program , a beginner obedience program, and a formal obedience program [ for those that wish to trial their dog in AKC Rally and/or Obedience]
Our Board & Training services, available from September to April, provide a convenient solution for your pet's care and training needs.

G💚DT Therapy Dogs
Therapy Dog training is a cause close to my heart! Dogs can heal the heart and the mind with their love.
I have trained several therapy dogs that have done specialized training with me, taken their AKC Canine Good Citizen Test under me, and then gone on to take and pass their TDI Therapy Dog Exams. Some of these dogs are personal pets that go into schools and hospitals. Others are “resident” dogs at nursing home facilities.
I’m currently the trainer for the University of the Cumberlands (in Williamsburg, Kentucky) Therapy Dog Program. Oakley (Pictured Right) worked with me doing private weekly sessions and was ready to take his TDI after 4 months. He now serves as the Goodest Patriot on UC’s campus. You can find Oakley walking campus, getting all kinds of pets during finals, or lounging in the psych counseling building. In addition to Oakley, UC is adding another Therapy Dog in Training Dixie who is working with me!
