Top doggy trainer: Patty Vincent

Top Doggy Training offers a positive reinforcement based training program that uses a “mark and reward” technique to effectively communicate the desired behavior. The clicker (or marker) is a tool that can make positive reinforcement training more efficient. After being repeatedly associated with a treat or reward, a clicker becomes a conditioned reinforcer.

Patty offers the best in quality service and is always focused on an education that is fun and attainable for the entire family!

Patty has always had a passion for dogs so it’s no wonder that dog training would be a natural path to follow.  Her passion and interest led to multiple opportunities in the training industry including consulting with World-renowned dog trainer, CPDT-KA Emily Larlham, AKA Kikopup.

Patty is a certified member of APDT, “The Association of Professional Dog Trainers.” Between training dogs and building her business, Patty is a Training and Behavior Volunteer at the Annenberg Petspace, which focuses on the dynamic bond between people and their pets, as well as the origins and science of that relationship. This has given Patty the opportunity to work alongside the incredible CPDT-KA Certified Professional Dog trainer, Katie McGuire.

Patty finds continued education to be an essential part of her ability to be an effective trainer and continues to attend virtual seminars and on-line training courses to enhance her skills.

Now she’s fulfilling her passion for training dogs by getting to work with them every day!
