Prior to making her home in Ohio, Dru lived throughout the Great Lakes Region including Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin and New York.

She began building her skill set 30 years ago when she attended the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. There she was a national collegiate diving champion. Dru graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Biology from St. Mary of the Woods College in Indiana. While at St. Mary’s, Dru was part of the equestrienne team and spent most of her free time caring for horses. From her years in the pool, on horseback and in the classroom, she brings energy, enthusiasm, understanding of animal behavior and fun to her interaction with dogs and clients.

Dru combines her personal experiences with the tools and methods she has learned to help dog owners resolve dog and puppy behavior issues. She has developed leadership programs that give rapid and effective results.  And obedience training that amazes clients. Dru is committed to “bridging the gap” of communication between owners and their dogs creating an enjoyable, low stress experience.

Dru uses her indoor training area, her home and the local environment as training aides.  You will regularly see Dru and dogs along the neighborhood streets in Chardon, at local dog friendly stores and in the woods of local parks. Socialization and obedience are incorporated into daily life.  Dru and the dogs meet and greet people, encounter wildlife, encounter other dogs and cats, all the while learning how to be mannerly in public as well as at home.
