"From a young age, I’ve always felt a deep connection with animals. I’ve had a soft spot for every pet and wild creature I’ve met, and I was often the kid trying to bring home strays. Both of my grandparents had dogs that I absolutely adored and spent as much time with as I could.
Two years ago, I got a puppy of my own who I love with all my heart. He was full of energy and unfamiliar with house life after being born in a barn, so training him became challenge and is how I first found Dauntless Dogs . That early love for animals—and the desire to help them learn and thrive safely and lovingly—has grown into a lifelong commitment to their care and well-being.
Today, I’m dedicated to learning, training, and growing alongside the animals I work with, always striving to make their lives happier and more fulfilling every day."
Casey
Owner/Head Trainer
"I spent two years working as a Trainer at Petsmart, getting my hands on as many dogs as I could, and taking the most difficult ones to help in my free time. I over saw large play groups for those two years, helping anxious and "aggressive" dogs learn how to be social and interact with their own kind.
Over time I became frustrated with the limited tools and knowledge the pet store gave me, caring more about numbers than actually teaching dogs, I started to search for more effective tools and methods, applying them and improving with every dog I trained, until eventually I left to start my own adventure through Dauntless Dogs. I'm still learning to this day, trying to find the most fair and effective ways to help dogs and people navigate the world together!"
Angela
Owner/Trainer
"My desire to become a dog trainer stemmed from my ultimate goal of keeping as many dogs out of rescues and shelters as possible. Knowing that dogs with behavior issues, most of which can be fixed with some basic obedience training, are often given up on, rehomed, or placed in shelters, put me on the path to becoming a solution to the problem.
Training dogs became my way of helping keep as many dogs as possible in the homes that they love. Besides working with my own pack, I started my training journey mentoring with other trainers, reading and studying everything I could about canine behavior, and then taking a training position at a big box store to get as much practical experience as possible with as many different breeds and types of dogs as I could."

Meet the Pack
Our pack is instrumental to helping with the training and rehabilitation of many dogs and teaching their owners to become better handlers. We trust their judgement just as much as they trust ours, without them our jobs would be much harder.
Click on the photo to learn more about our pack!
Alfalfa the American Pitbull Terrier, is one of our big helpers. He can be a little shy with new people but he is great at helping to assess reactive dogs and helping during classes
Zeno is a Dutch Shepherd Mix that was Adopted from Mid-Atlantic German Shepherd Rescue. He is one of our primary helpers. He is an expert ball boy and excels at helping dogs that normally don't do well in the company of others as well as helping owners become better handlers. He has his CGC title and is training in Agility and Canicross.
Kairi joined the pack as the first small dog. She can be a bit reserved but really shows off the trainability of small dogs with her great personality and strong desire to learn and does a wonderful job helping anxious dogs come out of their shell.
Fallon is the newest to the Dauntless Pack. He's a Tamaskan Dog that is slowly learning the ropes to become a great assistant and Demo dog. He loves kids and being as obnoxious as possible.
Draco is our second Pit-mix pack member. He is great at engaging both large and small dogs in appropriate play, and is often the dog we use when big dogs are in need of small dog manners. He is a service dog and excels at his job
Skylar is our resident Pit-mix. She is working to break the cycle of breed specific stereotyping and showing the truly kind and helpful nature of this often discriminated against breed. Skylar assists with classes, and helps set boundaries for dogs that need them. She has her CGC title and was a trained mobility assistance dog.
Bacon and Eggs were raised with the pack and as a result they demand to be a part of training. They are the ultimate distraction for our boarding dogs, are used for cat testing our foster dogs and rehabbing students that don't get along with their own cats, but Eggs also enjoys training himself and when the treats come out, Eggs is there. Bacon on the other hand loves to snuggle with anyone willing both dog and human alike.
