Our Trainer

Donna Tessier has been training dogs for over 44 years, both independently and as an assistant trainer at Central K-9 Academy in New England. She has instructed all levels of obedience, agility, personal protection, IGP (formerly known as Schutzhund), SAR and nose work. She considers herself a "humble student of the canines that she has had the honor to work with and continue to learn from."
 
Since moving to Western Colorado, she has continued training dogs, specializing in high-drive, working dogs and those with behavioral issues that others have failed to help. Donna currently owns:
Kuma: Retired nationally certified cadaver dog through SARDUS ( Search and Rescue Dogs of the United States). 
​Vader: Currently in training for cadaver, Area Search, Articles and evidence.
Esme Von Goedehaus: aka Princess Naughtikins! Esme is currently working toward her PDC in PSA.
Donna has previously worked at Surface Creek Veterinary Clinic in Cedaredge , Two Rivers Vet Clinic in Delta, and  Orchard Mesa Veterinary Hospital.
