Brandy
Brandy's passion for dog training began at the age of 8 with her first dog, a purebred Border Collie. Her love for helping both people and animals guided her through her education, earning a BS in Kinesiology and a minor in Psychology and becoming a certified dog behavior trainer and instructor.
While working in physical therapy for the government, Brandy quickly became the go-to dog trainer for family, friends, and acquaintances. Her expertise grew, and when her family moved back to her home region of San Diego, CA, she decided to pursue her original passion of training dogs full-time.
After years of mentoring with other trainers, attending continuing education courses, and honing her hands-on training skills, Brandy opened her own dog training company. With ABOCI, she now trains her favorite concepts: teaching you how to teach your dog!

I started at age 8 training the family Boxer. My dad was an expert trainer for about anything on four legs and taught her the basics. I later took group classes with my Mom with two of our Boxers (from a Pa. State Police officer in Hershey, Pa.) In 1960 I got my first Sheltie and took her to classes.
A few years later I acquired a totally unsocialized 5-month-old Sheltie from a BAD kennel. I thought that maybe taking her to group classes would help her get over her problems. Well, the neurotic Sheltie went through the classes and came out an almost normal dog!! Several of the clubs’ trainers approached me and asked me if I would join their training staff and that is how I got started teaching.
We lived in the country and I built up a very busy grooming and training business and a grooming school as well as teaching one night a week for Dauphin Dog Training.
Also, during this time I would travel to go to weekend training seminars given by the current gurus of obedience training.
When I moved to California in 1978 I immediately joined OCSDC to have a place to work my dogs. I was there sporadically to train whenever I had a new dog to start. I also taught some group classes with other private trainers at different locations around the county. I don’t remember exactly when I joined ABOCI. Over the years I taught for OCSDC when they needed someone.
