Faith Kelm- Administrative Lead and Evaluator
Faith has always had a passion for all animals and grew up a true David Attenborough fan. She is unable to resist a dog in need if she tries. She likes to say she started training dogs when she was 7. She hand picked her shih-tzu pup Sammy who was deemed lame in his back two legs and going to be put down and taught him how to walk. She was hooked from that moment on.
She has trained under several master trainers to hone her training skills. She learned a lot about animal behavior from her father who worked in wildlife control and conservation. She has a special passion for therapy. She hopes to help raise awareness on breed discrimination.
She is now our administrative lead. Here to help answer your questions, grow fellow trainers, and ensure we run smoothly
Sarah Snyder- Trainer
Alynna Fleury- Youngest Trainer
Faith Kelm- Administrative Lead and Evaluator
"Hi, my name is Sarah, and I have been working with and training dogs for over 13 years. Growing up around dogs was a big part of my childhood. My love of animals steered me toward getting my degree in Biology and Psychology. While living in Florida, I participated in the Dolphins to Dogs program at Marineland, which helped get shelter dogs adopted and showed people how dog and dolphin training are so similar. Then I began dog training professionally. I reached Level 3 trainer with a major pet store company. I have trained dogs to pass their CGC, service dogs, therapy dogs, many recently adopted dogs, and family pets. It is incredibly rewarding to help someone strengthen the relationship with their dog through training. I am a firm believer that a trained dog is a happy dog." Sarah is also an evaluator for the American Kennel Club.

"Hi, my name is Mackenzy. I have had a passion for animals since I was a little girl. I’ve especially loved dogs of all kinds, and always wanted to be a trainer. I grew up watching anything to do with dog training with the aspirations to do the same one day. In the past few years, I have learned how to breed and whelp puppies with a local breeding company, which was so rewarding being able to help bring sweet puppies into the world! My heart for dogs didn’t stop there, it only grew my passion for dogs even more. I'd love to be able to assist others with their dogs so that they are able to enjoy the greatest aspects of their amazing personalities. I enjoy learning more about canine behavior and how to help them become the best pups they can be. I've always wanted to learn how to train therapy and service animals to aid individuals in need while also providing these incredible animals with a forever home and rewarding purpose. Now I have the opportunity to do just that! Being able to help other dog parents communicate with their pups and showing them the results after, is such an amazing feeling! " Mackenzy is also a CGC evaluator for the AKC.

"Growing up with hunting dogs, I never appreciated the unconditional love dogs add to your life. We were not allowed to play with them, so cats were my my thing. As an adult, that changed. I quickly learned how intelligent dogs are when a golden we named Bailey and cockapoo we named Moĺlie came into my life. I learned to groom and train, being hired by a manager of a major pet chain. My love for dogs grew over the years seeing how they change lives, and how mine helped me overcome some very difficult barriers. I then looked into therapy certifications for mine and took Mollie to schools and nursing homes to help others. I loved seeing the smiles on other,s faces. Now I am blessed to be a part of an excellent team that gets to train canine pals and change lives! I help train dogs who have boundary issues, pull on the leash, jump, nip, and just need over all manners. Dogs are intelligent, and it's amazing to see how quickly they learn and adapt!" Lisa is also an evaluator for the American Kennel Club.
