Lindy Nolan,
CPDT, is one of the premier dog trainers in South Florida. Training animals has been a lifelong passion for her. Her "students" have been diverse: from dogs,
cats and birds to horses, goats, cows, and
pigs! Since she graduated from FAU, she has trained animals
professionally for some 37 years.
Initially, Lindy taught Dressage (ballet-like gymnastic training for
horses), and this training is very similar to modern techniques in dog
performance training. During these 10 years, Lindy was training and
showing her own dogs as well. Many people asked her who had trained her
dogs, since they were so well-behaved. This made Lindy think that she
could make a successful business out of training dogs.
At this
point she began to take courses, train with her own dogs and study with
the most well known and talented people in the dog training arena.
Unbeknownst to her this would be in preparation for what would become
her business as we see it today.
Eventually,
both businesses
grew to the point that she had to make a
choice between Dressage and Dog Training, and she proverbially "went to
the dogs." Since then, she has become one of the true masters of dog
training.
As part of her training philosophy, Lindy believes that a healthy dog is
a happy and
a productive dog. Not only does she believe that you can help your dog
live a longer life but feeding a really quality dog food can help your
dog have fewer visits to the veterinarian. She can offer you a full line of high-quality Healthy Pet
Net dog
food and a variety of pet health care products. These include safe chew
bones, supplements, shampoos and more. See our page on Pet Health!
