Vicky approached dog training with her own
unique style. First, she wanted the
"best" education available in training and behavior; a full apprenticeship with
Nana Will* at dogseyeview@att.net. Next, she wanted
her business built all on referrals
(to show the quality of her work) and the most important aspect of her training style was
focused on positive, loving, bonding techniques that treated the dog with kindness
and focused on rewarding positive behaviors and not jeopardizing the owner-dog
relationship.
Vicky's credentials include:
- Founder and CEO of A Wagging Success
- Internationally known for her classes on Animal Planet
- Haines, her Black Labrador Retriever, has appeared on Animal Planet's PET STAR and
EMERGENCY VETS (an episode of her class)
- Haines, along with Vicky's Yellow Lab Bronco, was asked to perform tricks on
WB2 News, 9News, A Taste of Colorado, Highlands Ranch July 4th Celebration, fashion shows
for Foley's and the Metropolitan Club. (View one of Haines' Tricks)

education for therapy
dogs as part of her training programs
- Vicky works with training service dogs.
- Her Labs have numerous titles in AKC, including the Canine Good Citizenship Award, Blue
Ribbons and titles in Agility and Jumper & Weaves.
- Vicky has trained four other successful dog trainers
- Taught classes at the Humane Society of Boulder Valley
- Member of The Association of Pet Dog Trainers
- Updates her education and training techniques yearly with seminars and
workshops of the highest quality trainers and behaviorists

Vicky and her dogs have always been a "shining star" in the world of dog training.
She has a smile (so do her dogs) and enthusiasm combined with a wealth of education and
knowledge. Her success goes on and on and everyone she meets can't believe her
highly-talented dogs. It all comes from her heart and her love of people and dogs.
