Vanessa with LexiVanessa Osanitsch came to Consummate K-9 to observe their methods of communication, handling, training techniques and learn more about K-9 behavior. She then took our 6-month Professional Trainers Course starting in May 2008. Vanessa excelled so quickly and has a natural ability to read dogs and communicate with people that we were pleased to have her join the Consummate K-9 Training team as our newest member in October 08. In 2010, Vanessa acheived her Canine Good Citizen Evaluator Certification.
She previously successfully completed the Bethlehem Townships Citizens Police Academy where demonstrations with their K-9 unit and basic knowledge and ability were brought to her attention. This experience is what set her on the path of a career working with K-9s. She believes obedience is a dog’s best friend and a lifesaver. The methods employed by The Monks of New Skete motivated her to find a training method that is a best fit for each individual owner and dog. These methods allow them to reach a level of control for a pleasant, fun, and stress free day-to-day life with their canine companions.
"But you said, don't get our paws wet!"Vanessa currently resides with Alexis (a.k.a Lexi), a Belgian Malinois bred from Consummate K-9s Working Dog Division. Lexi will be trained in home and personal protection along with precision obedience and will be used as a demo dog to show the kind of control you can achieve while both owner and dog are having fun.
