Taylor Damery

Taylor is a passionate dog enthusiast whose journey into the world of canine behavior and training began as an apprentice at Liskey's Canine Classroom. Taylor immersed herself in understanding dog behavior and mastering puppy training techniques. Her tenure at Liskey's exposed her to a myriad of training methodologies, handling challenging dogs, and running safe, structured social environments for over 20 dogs simultaneously.

Eager to deepen her expertise, Taylor pursued advanced training at the Teach, Calm, and Guide workshop in Utah, led by acclaimed trainers Heather Beck and Jason Vasconi. Here, she honed her skills in handling and rehabilitating aggressive and reactive dogs, delving into the nuances of various tools and techniques. Taylor learned to establish better communication with dogs through leash pressure, effectively navigate anxiety issues, and much more.

Driven by an unwavering commitment to enhancing her understanding of dog behavior and refining training methodologies, Taylor continuously seeks opportunities to broaden her knowledge base.

In 2022, Taylor realized her dream of establishing her own business, leveraging her extensive experience and passion for facilitating stronger bonds between owners and their dogs. Her venture aims to empower owners with the tools and insights needed to cultivate enriching relationships with their furry companions. She specializes in imparting functional obedience and behavioral modification training across all stages of a dog's life, with a particular focus on assisting reactive, anxious, and fearful dogs.

Beyond her professional endeavors, Taylor is a proud owner of two Perro de Presa Canarios, enriching her understanding of canine behavior through firsthand experience.
