More about Teri Rudolph

Teri Rudolph is a true dog lover first, and a dog trainer second. She knows first-hand the difference dog training makes in the relationship between dog and owner. Without professional training it can sometimes be a frustrating relationship, but with an investment in kind gentle humane training, a wonderful transformation will occur. She spent a lot of time volunteering at the Mohawk and Hudson River Humane Society, where Teri came to realize that a lack of good training was often the reason that owners would turn pets in.

Teri Rudolph is a graduate of the Animal Behavior College where she earned certification as an ABC Certified Dog Trainer. This program has provided her with a formal education in canine obedience training and understanding behavior and its motives. Teri’s certification, education and experience have given her the skills required to effectively and humanely train your dog while keeping alive the spark that makes your dog so special to you.

Teri has been working with dogs since she was a child. She was the one that always wanted to teach her pet new tricks and tell him her secrets. Throughout high school she worked for a small dog kennel owner and breeder of Labrador Retriever’s which made her love and appreciate dogs even more. Together with her husband, Teri has raised several wonderful Labs along with their children over the past 25 years. In addition they have carefully breed 5 beautiful litters from her extended family of Labs. Most recently, over the past 2 years, she has been taking her newest addition to the family to the show ring.

Teri understands the bond that we have with our pets as they are part of our family. There is nothing that satisfies her more than to see a happy dog and a happy owner! Teri’s mission is to help you and your dog enjoy many happy years together.
