Hello!
My name is Pavla, and I am CCDT certified and licensed dog trainer. My husband, my furry girl Minnie and I moved to the beautiful mountains of Greeneville, Tennessee at the end of 2023…. And we love it!
After we adopted Minnie back in 2020, we got a little dive into the rescue world, and boy, was that an eye-opening experience for both of us! It was surprising and shocking for me to see how many dogs are abandoned to animal shelters for behavior problems, issues that are very often easily taken care of by seeking professional help. That made me think, maybe I could be the one to help keep families together, make all of their members happy.
I wish to create a safe place for all dog owners who are seeking help, by providing professional service without judgement or blame, to use my knowledge and skills to make the world a better place, where you and your dog can live happy lives together.
