About Virginia Simpson

A lot of us bring dogs into our lives for companionship and adventure! At Unleashed Canine Obedience, LLC, we strive to facilitate a bond between you and your dog that goes beyond basic obedience training and encompasses a sense of both freedom and fun. Our training paradigm renders clear communication between dog and human, creating a partnership that is about enjoying life to the fullest with confidence and reliability. Virginia began her professional career in dog training in 2005, providing in-home training for the clients of the Stray Animal Adoption Program (SAAP), a 501(c)(3) foster care program that helps find homes for displaced animals. Through her experiences with SAAP, it quickly became apparent that the number one reason dogs are given up, hands down, is a lack of OR improper behavior training. And so began a passion to educate dogs and their owners. Virginia received her professional dog training certification from the Animal Behavior College and officially opened Unleashed Canine Obedience, LLC. in July 2007 and has since received her advanced training certifications in the use of E-Touch™ and the ForceFree™ training methods for a variety of aggression issues in dogs and the implementation of the natural retrieve and forced-fetch at the International School for Dog Trainers. She has also extensively studied and incorporated training techniques from, but not limited to, That’s My Dog, Pack to Basic's, and Training Between the Ears (TBTE). Due to the ever changing landscape of dog training, Virginia continues her education in dog training techniques and dog behavior through seminars, collaboration with other trainers, and workshops on a regular basis. Virginia has spent thousands of hours working to incorporate a number of gentle training methods into her own personal techniques to help our clients enhance their relationships with their dogs. Virginia is a veterinarian recommended dog trainer and has trained hundreds of pet dogs of all different breeds as well as dogs for psychiatric service. Unleashed Canine Obedience, LLC. provides our clients and their dogs with the absolute best balanced training approach, including off-leash obedience solutions. We believe that a happy, well-trained, and social dog can learn to navigate our human world without having to be physically tethered to us all the time and be the joyful addition to the family you always dreamed of.
