She trained her first dog in 1981, a handsome and devoted mix named Billy, to the equivalent of AKC's Utility Dog title. In 1985, she purchased her first purebred dog, a Belgian Tervuren, and that began her lifetime love of the breed and all canine sports.

In addition to her business degrees, Andrea holds a degree in Animal Science from Oklahoma State University. She is a Certified Trainer of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers, and an AKC Evaluator for the Canine Good Citizen program. She has been a member of her breed's national organization, The American Belgian Tervuren Club, since 1985 and served its membership in various capacities.

Committed to providing the most effective, convenient solution to her client's dog training needs, Andrea consistently refines her training methods. Andrea's training style and techniques are heavily influenced by her obedience trainers: Brian McGovern (UK); AnneMarie Silverton (CA) and Marilyn Donlon (KY).

When not helping CCSC clients meet their dog training goals, Andrea travels extenstively successfully competing in conformation, obedience and tracking with her beloved Belgian Tervuren.
