Taylor has worked and grown up with dogs her whole life. She handled her own dogs and others’ dogs in AKC conformation, agility, rally, and obedience as a junior handler when she was growing up. She has championed and titled many different breeds of dogs in many different sports.

She also has experience working in a dog daycare & boarding facility where she was an assistant dog trainer. Training dogs has been a way of life for Taylor and wasn’t something she considered a career until she found Off Leash K9 Training. Her favorite part of training is building a special bond with your pup of mutual respect and trust and showing you how to build that unbreakable bond as well!

She currently has an Icelandic Sheepdog named Dokken—while he is a retired show dog, they still like to compete in rally and obedience when they can. On the weekends, their favorite place to be is outside, whether that means relaxing in the backyard, walking at the park, or hiking on the mountains.
