Meet Our Instructor - Sylvia Carley I would first like to tell you a little about me and my passion for dog training. My name is Sylvia Carley. I have 2 Golden Retrievers, Sonar and Triscuit. I have been an Obedience Instructor for over 30 years. During those 30 years, my former goldens Pepsi, Coke, Midas & Radar have helped and taught me many valuable lessons about dogs and their behavior. Some of the things I have learned, are that every time you interact with your dog, you are training him whether you know it or not. Sometimes it only takes simple adjustments in the way you interact with your dog to make big changes in your relationship with your furry friend. My goal as an instructor is to help you train your dog in a positive way and have fun while doing it. Happy Training!!!!
