Zabrina has 2 dogs as part of her pack -- a Dutch shepherd and a German shepherd -- 2 cats, and a Quaker parrot. We are honored to have Zabrina as part of our team!

We currently have five permanent residents in our family pack, three german shepherds, one malinois mix and one weimaraner, most surrendered to me with severe behavioral problems. All rehabilitated and vital members of the staff. You will see them from time to time during lessons and training sessions. I couldn't do it without them. There was hope for them, and there is hope for your dog too! Learn more about them individually on our blog.
