Not only is he also the president and training director of a Working Dog Club, but he was also a certified Level 2 Trial Decoy.
Tess
Scott’s black lab Tess is his right hand woman. Tess typically comes to most lessons (as long as the weather is appropriate) and helps out when needing a neutral and well behaved dog during a lesson. While Tess has no titles, she holds the hearts of all that meet her! She is a very important member of our Warner K9 Team.
Meagan Warner
Meagan has been in the dog training industry since 2005. She has trained and competed dogs in many different venues. Some of those include Rally Obedience, Agility, Dock Jumping, Nose Work, and Protection Sports. Over the years, she has mentored several trainers and attended seminars. She was the head trainer and puppy class instructor for a service dog organization while she was attending UC Davis. Eventually she moved back to the Bay Area where she was the manager and trainer at a well established Dog Daycare. In 2014 she opened her own successful Dog Training and Day Camp business. Dog Training is her passion and she finds joy and happiness in helping owners and dogs learn to work together as a family.
Partners
Scott and Meagan decided to combine business in 2020. They both have helped train hundreds of pet dogs in a range of issues from jumping, pulling on leash, barking, nipping, biting, potty training, counter surfing, not coming when called to severe on leash aggression. While being experienced with many different breeds, ages and temperaments, Warner K9 loves working with puppy owners or prospective puppy owners to provide knowledge and skills so they can confidently raise their new four legged family member after the puppy has completed one of the puppy boot camps.
There goal is to help you, the owners, strengthen the bond with your pets! Learning, setting boundaries, engaging and making sure your dog gets the training they need to create a happier life for all of you!
