OWNER & HEAD TRAINER

Owner and head trainer of Pawtriot Training, Sydney has helped countless people better communicate with and enjoy their dogs. She learned that to have a happy and obedient dog, it is imperative to provide them with structure, rules, boundaries. These were the foundations that led to a calmer state of mind, allowing people to communicate with them and establish new commands and behaviors. She began to understand the importance of positive reinforcement, but also the value in implementing corrections to develop a well-rounded and balanced dog. It wasn’t long after that when she decided to go all-in on dog training. She started her journey working at a 24hr animal hospital in Fairfax, Virginia. Shortly after, she began training with a large and well known dog behavioral training company in Raleigh, North Carolina and studying under many of the local trainers. Throughout that time, she was able to hundreds of dogs, sharpening her skills, and discovering all kinds of nuances of our canine companions. Since then, she built a community of clients and trainers worldwide who continually work on expanding knowledge and implementing what they have learned along the way. Now, she has the opportunity to teach dog owners everything they need to know to live the best life possible with their dog.
