Stephanie
Gerken
Group
& Private Trainer
Stephanie started training dogs at a young age never realizing that she could make a career out of it until halfway
through college where she earned a degree in Communications from Cal State University Long Beach.
Upon graduation, Stephanie followed her dream
of becoming an animal trainer by applying to and being accepted by Moorpark College into their Exotic Animal Training Management
program in 2004. During the two year program she had the opportunity to work with many
different animals including Lemurs, Coyotes, Bald Eagles and several other types of birds. She also participated
in internships that gave her the opportunity to work with marine life and has attended numerous conferences to keep
up with the newest and best training techniques.
Since her graduation from the program in
May 2006, Stephanie has resided in Las Vegas. She began her career here as a Certified Pet Trainer
for a major pet retailer where she had the opportunity to hone her skills as a dog trainer and provide families with
the most up to date information on how to best care for their newest family member. She has created
many happy homes with well mannered four legged family members of all ages.
After having known and worked with Stephanie for years, American Canine Training proudly welcomed
her to their team in October of 2008.
