In 1979, Tina started assisting her parents with their dog breeding, showing and training business. Loving dogs and their people led her to working with families. Specializing in fear and aggression and serving families locally, nationally and internationally has been a lifelong mission.
Residing in Georgia since 1995, she shares her life with; Dovi a Doberman, Marco & Jack, the Potcakes (feral island dogs) from Turks & Caicos Islands, a Jack Russell named Mister and of course, a cat named KWNN.
Hobbies include: learning to quilt, photography, motorsports and baking. She believes teachers must challenge themselves to be students of something they are not naturally good at in order to remember what it’s like to be a learner. Tina & Christopher organize scavenger hunt road rallies for families to get out and enjoy new adventures together.
