Tampa Bay Dog Trainer, Reporting for Duty!

Are you ready to get a handle on your canine companion’s behavioral issues? If so, I can help!

I’m Victoria Parker, and I’ve been around dogs my entire life. When I was young, I made obstacle courses for my family pets, befriended neighbors’ dogs, and even managed to find and befriend strays on family vacations.

As I grew older, I gained real-world experience training dogs for the county shelter, the Florida SPCA, and the Humane Society of Tampa Bay. I combined my love of dogs and aerobics by becoming a certified Thank Dog! Boot Camp instructor, and I also received my in-home dog training certification from Canine Trade Group.

But I don’t want this first blog to be about me; I want it to be about what I can do for you.

And I can do a lot.

I’ve worked with disobedient, aggressive, nervous, anxious, fearful, clueless, destructive, and just downright obnoxious dogs. Whether your pet refuses to listen to your commands, pees in inappropriate places, bites, growls, barks, digs, chews, jumps, licks, or lunges, my proven in-home training methods will help you.

We start out with an in-home consultation, allowing me to see your dog in his/her usual environment and get to the root of the issue. I’ll talk to you about my recommendations, and then it’s up to you whether or not to take me on as your trainer. My training program is customized to you and your pet’s needs; no two dogs are alike, so no two training regimens should be alike. I’ll put you in the position of control with reward-based methods, giving you and your dog the tools to succeed.

You’ll be amazed at how quickly and effectively these behavior modifications take place.

I also want to emphasize the fact that I believe in commitment-based training. This means I charge by the job rather than by the hour. I’m with you until your dog is trained, no matter how long it takes.

If you’d like to talk more about my training methods, your dog’s specific behavioral issues, or set up an in-home consultation, please give Bayshore Dog Training a call at 800.649.7297. You can also reach me by e-mail through the Contact Us page.
