Hi, I’m Aaron. Growing up with dogs has always fueled my love and passion for them. I currently have an amazing Dutch Shepherd named Kai, who we adopted. He’s actually the fourth Dutch Shepherd our family has had. I absolutely love working with dogs and helping people, and the joy this career brings me is unmatched. I’ve been professionally training dogs since 2022, specializing in advanced service dog training. One of my proudest accomplishments is training Kai to alert my wife when her blood sugar is low and even brings her insulin. Every day in this field brings something new and exciting, and I’m always eager to see what comes next!

I have been an avid animal lover since childhood, and once dreamed of training animals myself. Ironically, my husband and in-laws are dog trainers, offering me a unique perspective into the business beyond simple admin. In fact, my own service dog was trained by Dog Training Elite. With a decade of office administration experience, and over 18 years in customer service, I have found a way to combine my skills with my passion for dogs. One of my favorite parts of the day is providing Enrichment Play for the puppies and dogs here at camp.
