About Me

Meet The Trainer:

Faith Gadling found her passion or training service animals after 6 years of basic dog training. Her heart dog, Tana Cali Ray-of-hope helped show her the importance of proper training and positive methods for family's in need of service animals, and it was a new passion from there on. Since 2010 Faith has been slowly devoting her time exclusively to service dog teams and their unique and specific needs.
