Manny's Bio:
As far back as he can remember, Manny has felt a deep connection with dogs. Obedience training has been a lifelong hobby, and he has been helping family, friends, and many others address their dog’s behavior problems through basic and advanced obedience training for over 25 years. Although he spent 30 years in the corporate world, he never let go of his dream of changing people’s lives through improving their relationships with their beloved companions. After dedicating his life to learning about canine behavior, Manny decided to take the leap and pursue his passion. His knowledge, experience, and patience make him an effective and highly skilled trainer, and when combined with his strong work ethic and attention to detail, Manny provides excellent results with compassion and kindness.
