I love dogs. From A to Z, complete dog contentment and safety is my specialty. 

I am pet safety and first aid certified.

I am qualified to train dogs in Obedience 101 (heel, sit, stay, stand, down, halt, off, leave it, come, recall). 

I train you and your dog to work together as a team using praise and positive reinforcement.

Basic training can be completed in eight half hour sessions over two months time

Some personal info:  My dog Sandee Maree is a Lab/Shep Mix.  I saved her from the neighbor kids at 13/14 weeks old...she was in bad hands.  Long story.  Sandee and I have attended many different classes.  Sandee is a special girl.  On June 28, 2003 my dad Philip M. Timko passed away at Shadyside Hospital in Pittsburgh.  My Dad was 56 years old and a very ill man.  Why is Sandee so special you ask?....Well, my dad had so many health problems it was crazy...when he fell she taught her self to get under him and push him up.  When he was sleeping and would forget to breath ( man did he snore..that's why his nick name was "Bear") she would lick his face.  My Dad was the one who had the dream of me becoming a dog trainer.  One day I will open that dog park that he and I had always talked about.  I know that dog training is my dream too.  I never had a dog as a kid.  My grandparents (Randolph's of Springdale, PA..now over the rainbow) had dogs as I was growing up.  My all time favorite dog was "Mac"...MacGregor..unfortunatel y his life as a heinz 57 was shortend at age 10.  He was stolen and found on the side of the road beaten up.  A lady tried to nurse him back and called my gram and pap-pap and they chose to have him go to God.  I was 13 at the time and I lost my best friend.  I cried in school all day long.  That was rough.  I know that he does look over me as well as the humans I have lost over the years.  Mac and Sandee are why it's so important to me to share my knowledge and love of dogs with other humans.  I can't for get the two "Snowballs" either.  Snow #1 was a white Westie and a cheese monster...she was my best friend Suzanna's dog.  Snow #2 came after "Mac".  She was a big white fur ball with a smile on her face.  That smile is what I want to help you and your dog to have.  So, don't hesitate  to call and let's get training.
