LINDA PORTER
Professional Background
My career has been defined by a deep, lifelong commitment to canine welfare and training. I have extensive
experience owning, working with, training, and caring for dogs across a wide range of professional settings.
My journey began in my early twenties at a local animal shelter, where I eventually advanced to the role of veterinary technician. Over six years, I provided care for sick, injured, and homeless animals of all kinds. I then transitioned to a position as an Animal Control Officer, where my responsibilities included managing public safety situations involving animals, investigating cases of cruelty and aggression, and enforcing state and local
animal codes.
After six years in animal control, I pursued a career in law enforcement, serving as a K9 officer for several agencies for 15 years. During this time, I trained and worked with police dogs in a variety of disciplines, including tracking, detection, obedience, and apprehension. Upon leaving law enforcement, my husband and I founded Colorado's first tracking dog training school.
Today, my focus is on supporting pet owners in training their dogs and resolving behavior challenges. I provide coaching in basic obedience, board-and-train options, rehabilitation for fearful dogs, help with resolving aggression issues, and education on canine learning principles. I am dedicated to remaining current with evolving training methodologies. I have trained extensively throughout the United States and Europe, learning from a variety of leading professionals and institutions. I hold certifications in
obedience training, animal behavior, aggression issues, and fear rehabilitation.
Through my programs, I help dogs and their owners develop skills that build confidence, enhance communication, and strengthen the human-canine bond.
**I look forward to working with you**
