Vanessa Giddens (Andrews) has been working with dogs in one way or another all her life. From "reading" to a Cairn Terrier at age two, to training her first dog at age nine (a Boxer), and then becoming a certified Master Dog Trainer, not a year of her life has gone by that she didn't have a dog around to teach and to learn from.

Vanessa's certifications include:

 Basic and Advanced Obedience

 Breed Identification and Dog Behavior

 Puppy Development

 Kennel Management

 Utility and Retrieval Work

 Personal Protection and Police K-9 Training

 Tracking and Scent Discrimination

 Support Work

All certifications were earned while at National K-9 School for Dog Trainers in Columbus, OH.

So what's up now? Currently Vanessa is doing research on wild canine packs (wolves and feral dogs) and working on certifications with NASAR, the National Association for Search and Rescue.
