About K9 ADVISOR:
K9 ADVISORS was founded as a result of my passion. For years, I trained thousands of dogs for a large dog training facility in Miami. There, I began as a protection dog decoy and agitator and quickly progressed into basic and advanced (off- leash) obedience and severe behavior problem solving, becoming the facility’s head dog trainer. Throughout the years, I’ve trained many other dog trainers, advancing some and releasing those not suited to dog training, in addition to managing and training the kennel staff. I continued training dogs of all kinds and ages with varying behavior issues while attending Florida International University. I then received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology, with an emphasis on behavior assessments and modifications, in 1997. Shortly after graduating, I began a lucrative career as a financial advisor, while continuing to train dogs for free in my spare time. It was never something I could let go completely; it was too much a part of me. After creating and operating my own financial service firm, I still continued with my passion of dog training. While a financial advisor, I continued to help various local rescue groups save some “un- adoptable” dogs with behavior problems through my training techniques. Eventually, I found my passion for helping dogs and their owners more rewarding than being a financial advisor. I then coupled my drive and my ability to advise people on their financial affairs with my solid dog training. Today, I am well recognized by many local and national rescue groups as a canine behavior problem solver. I can train ANY dog, regardless of the circumstances. From severely abused and neglected, to deaf and blind dogs, to even police dogs for various local police departments, I’ve done it all!
