Jill Beitel, Owner & Trainer, a graduate of NC State University, has over twenty-five years of dog training experience. She is a Certified Professional Dog Trainer, Knowledge Assessed, (CPDT-KA) by the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers. She is a member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers and Pet Professional Guild, and a member of two local dog training clubs. She is active in several dog rescue organizations, fostering, training, and re-homing rescued dogs. She has prepared many dogs for therapy work and makes regular therapy visits with her own dogs. In addition, Jill has trained her own eight dogs in obedience and agility, showing and earning placements in regional and national AKC agility competitions.
Adriana Jerez, Trainer, a graduate of CATCH Canine Trainer's Academy, loves learning about all things education, and has been teaching (mostly people) her whole life. After raising her first dog, she fell in love with the non-human applications of education theory. These days her focus is on continuing to gain mastery of learning theory in order to best communicate with and understand dogs. Her ultimate goal is to help facilitate the ongoing change in dog training methodology from methods of dominance and punishment to principles of empathy, respect, and communication.
Adriana is naturally intuitive with dogs and well understands the way they think and learn, and, as Jill and her new clients see it, communicates just as easily and effectively with their people.
