about draek

All things dog have been my passion for my entire life. As a child I spent my spare time reading dog encyclopedias. I spent months begging, bartering, making not so subtle hints, and leaving notes around the house detailing all the things I would do (mostly to my mom) if my parents would let me get a dog. On my 12th birthday I brought home my first dog, "Mark," an Australian Shepherd mix. Since then I've been hooked. In 2006 at 17 I graduated from Golden Paws Dog Grooming School in Houston, Texas. Later that year decided I also wanted to serve my country in the U.S. Army.

Following my time in the Army I continued following my passion for dogs, and attended Triple Crown Academy in Hutto, Texas where I earned my certification as a Canine Training and Behavior Specialist in 2009. After spending 9 years honing my skills in canine training, behavior, and care I decided to take the next step, and start my own business where I can focus my time and energy helping dogs and their people live happier more fulfilled lives together.
