*****ABOUT THE TRAINERS*****
Anne O'Neill, Owner
Certified Dog Trainer and Behavior Consultant
Australian Cattle Dog, realized her love for animals at an early age.
Growing up a rural part of Grapevine, Texas - Anne enjoyed all the animals, from raising baby budgie parakeets, baby bunnies to puppies, kitties, frogs and turtles.
Anne started studying animal behavior and training in 1999 when she adopted her fun loving JRT "Biscuit". Then in 2002, Anne received a Certification as a Canine Obedience Instructor through the Animal Behavior and Training Associates (ABTA).
She continues to study animal behavior through professional continuing education programs and is a professional member of the Animal Behavior Associates, a member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers, is qualified to perform CPR & First Aide on Animals, an approved American Kennel Club CGC Evaluator and supports several local rescues and shelters with behavioral evaluations, consultations and behavior assistance.
Anne is also working and studying behavior training for other animals such as potbellied pigs, cats and horses and continues to seek new opportunities to work with all kinds of animals.
Her greatest joy is experiencing each Animal-Human bond and finding the best way for that family to communicate effectively, consistently and enjoy living with their pet.
Anne teaches through blended Positive Motivation, Force-Free Techniques utilizing Reward Based Methods. Most importantly she teaches each pet owner how to communicate with their dog on a level the dog will understand and consistently respond to. Science is a big tool for Anne's approach to training and so education is a big part of your sessions with her. She has graduated many dogs from very small to very large with wonderful success. CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
Annette Bingham,
Certified Dog Trainer
Annette grew up in Arizona and always had animals in her life. Her pets included everything from tadpoles to horses.
In 2008 Annette adopted a beautiful 4 yr. old Shepherd mix named Tes who had heartworm and many behavioral issues. After settling into the home Annette began training Tes daily and getting help once a week from a trainer. In a very short period of time Tes was able to pass her evaluation with Delta Society as a therapy dog.
After studying under Anne O'Neill, Annette will graduate from Animal Behavior College as a certified dog trainer in 2009. It is her hope that by working with dogs and their human families she will help them develop a long lasting relationship based on love, respect, and positive communication with one another. Annette is also volunteering her training services to foster dogs from the Richardson Animal Shelter and has volunteered doing Animal Blessings at churches and doggie daycare.
The training methods that she uses follow the Positive Motivation Techniques utilizing Reward Based Methods. These are the same techniques that will help the owner communicate positively and consistently with their dog.
Annette teaches group classes and workshops. New to the program - utilizing Annette's calming and relaxation techniques - she now offers the Mutt-itation Workshop which is a wonderful experience for both human and dog.
Substitute Group Class Teachers
Specialty Pet Training has a strict guideline for any substitute teacher we work with.
Subs are contracted to 
teach group classes in a variety of locations across the Metroplex. All of our subs have completed extensive obedienc e programs and must have worked with trouble dogs with rescues or shelters. We feel that a true, quality trainer can help any dog in any situation.
If you would like more information about who is teaching your class or how to become a substitute teacher please feel free to email us for more information.
