Sydney Galvez-Daley
CPDT-KA
​Owner/Trainer
​
Sydney has been working with dogs in a professional setting for over seven years. Dogs have always been part of her life and her first dogs as an adult catapulted her passion for training into a profession.
​
Oso, her late mastiff mix, Sarge, her previous German Shepherd, and Riis dunked Sydney head first into the realm of dog behavior, behavioral issues and the nuances of training. From dog reactivity to inter-household fighting Sydney's original pack kept her on her toes. The freedom and ability to enjoy life together that training brought about is her greatest goal to share with her clients.
​
Sydney has worked with a few different mentors and continues to learn more by attending a variety of seminars, workshops and classes. She currently holds her Certified Professional Dog Trainer Knowledge Assessed title through the CCPDT. She is also an AKC Evaluator.
