About Me

Blake is a 31-year-old military wife and mother to two boys. She grew up on a farm in Georgia where she competed with horses, raised goats, and was surrounded by dogs, cats, chickens, and donkeys. Her career with dogs began over 10 years ago when she and her family were stationed in Washington State. She started off as a bather at a pet shop, then learned to groom dogs! Shortly after, she got her first German Shepherd, Denali, and started researching dog training and protection dog sports! Blake has groomed and trained countless dogs over the years! She has since trained many of her own dogs in protection sports, she has achieved the highest level in the sport she competes in with one of her current dogs, Deja, and she has trained and helped dogs professionally. Blake is very passionate about dogs and their human companions!
