ABOUT FARRAH
Dog training is an unregulated field that does not require formal qualifications; anyone can call themselves a dog trainer. Farrah has gone above and beyond to gain an extensive education,
experience a variety of specialties, and collect a large toolbox of methods to be able to train any dog that needs her help and expertise. She's been training professionally for the past 20 years.
Farrah started out cleaning kennels and walking dogs for Vets and the Humane Society. She transitioned to doggie daycare attendant, and trainer at Petco as she worked her way though college (obtaining BAs in Canine Learning Theory and in Psychology) and graduated from National K9 School for Dog Trainers.
While in college and working multiple dog related jobs, Farrah became a Search & Rescue K9 handler with her German Shepherd Sargent.
Farrah eventually started her own dog training and boarding business in Ohio after realizing the limits of working for others. In 2011 Farrah was granted a contract with the Department of Defense to supply canine candidates to the military, which she acquired through shelters and mismatched homes.
This is just a brief overview of Farrah's amazing adventures with dogs. And, if you want to know how she made it to ASPEN (after the person who called her a dreamer actually made her dreams come true)... you'll have to ask her in person!
