CeCe’s dog training was a delight. She was very patient with me and my girl Ellie. Ellie and I were new to each other, so we were very patient with each other. It had been some time since I had adopted a rescue dog that needed a home.CeCe was recommended to me by shear luck. An informal meeting with CeCe was the start of the process with me in wanting to better myself so I could take better care with more efficient steps to helping my new relationship between Ellie and me. The introduction allowed CeCe to better assess the best way to help me and Ellie.
CeCe used a step-by-step process. A show and tell and then passing the example back to me. The main bottom line is to give the time needed and effort to my new dog Ellie. Allowing her and I to get better acquainted and more comfortable with each other. Learning what she already knew and how we both learned to understand each other.
I only wanted to get involved with the basic training of knowing how best to walk my dog. Play with her and learn how to be better buddies. Walking, sitting, fetching a toy etc. all had their own unique specific requirements and needs as Ellie, and I progressed in our relationship.
CeCe was such a terrific asset in helping me to understand my dog’s body language and attitudes. Since Ellie was already a few years old when I adopted her. CeCe was immediately educating me with how my girl was trained and what aspects of reeducation and new training she needed. I was amazed with how quickly CeCe was able to ascertain both Ellie and I in our relationship and what was expected of me to better help Ellie understand our roles together.
However, Ellie was not the only student. I had to learn and understand what was expected of me and what responsibilities I had to provide for my new girl so she could be happy in her new home with me. CeCe again helped Ellie and I with learning how we could each be happy and playful.
As an example. Ellie did not like her crate at all. And I usually had never used a crate in all my years of owning previous dogs. But I learned it was a major issue for keeping Ellie safe and allowing me to be a better owner for her. Through CeCe’s training Ellie now goes into her crate with no problems.
If you are interested in a terrific dog trainer. I highly recommend that you check out CeCe’s website. “Welcome to CeCe’s Pack! A clever, fun and informative guide of her training aspects I had never considered. Very delightful and to the point which saved me time and effort in my search looking for a dog trainer.
Ellie and I have moved miles ahead and are still learning together. CeCe has different training levels available. I hope to take some more advanced training with Ellie in the future. Right now, Ellie and I have homework and are practicing human dog interactions with our training together. Ellie is a better student than I.

"As a hands-on learner, I was at a loss for some of the behaviors my dog was showing and beginning to feel a bit frustrated. CeCe came to my house and immediately showed what a true professional she is. She was patient with my wife and I and gave us things we can work on through the week with our pup. She was flexible with her times to meet every week which was very helpful with a demanding schedule. Within just a few short weeks we were noticing significant changes for the better and couldn't thank her enough for her professionalism, respect, and knowledge she passed along to us. THANK YOU!"

"Sophia says thank you!! CeCe is amazing. So knowledgeable and caring. She's great with Border Collie personalities and energy levels. We have seen a big difference with the slip leash training. Thank you for bringing out more of Sophia's loving personality. Highly recommend CeCe's Pack" from Yelp
Darren, Julie & Sophia - 2yo Border Colllie mix, rescue
"I don't know where to start. CeCe is incredible. She is so generous with her time and wisdom. I took a reactivity group class with her for my rescue Pittie. I had no idea how to help my dog... zero clue! I saw results after just the first few sessions. It really made our life more enjoyable together.
After the passing of my rescue [Honey Bun], I enlisted CeCe for help with my new rescue, [Keith]. She gave me a ton of really valuable information about how to integrate my new rescue (with a behavioral history) into my life with my existing small dog. There is so much I didn't know I didn't know and I credit CeCe solely for the success we have had so far. If I didn't have CeCe I would have made serious mistakes. You will find CeCe to be approachable, passionate, direct, compassionate, knowledgeable, and generous. She's just a good person." from Yelp, https://www.yelp.com/biz/ceces-pack-las-vegas-2#reviews

"CeCe is incredibly patient and kind. Her extensive experience with a variety of dogs is evident in every piece of advice and guidance she offers. She tailors the training to suit your individual needs and level of experience, making the process both effective and approachable. I highly recommend her services. We're only three days in, and we're already so grateful for everything she's taught us." from Google

CeCe was recommended to us by our rescue's foster mom and she was amazing. Before we met, we talked via text and on the phone to address an issue I was having with my dog. This was before we set up a consultation, which showed she truly cares about helping. She meets at your house so she can observe your dog's behavior in their normal environment. She is great at showing you how to train your dog with foundational commands that can be built on. She has a kind temperament and I can't emphasize how much you can tell she truly cares about your dog's well being and setting your family up for success.

"From the first few text messages before meeting in person you can tell that CeCe is such a kind hearted person. Once meeting her in person with my foster girl she is just as sweet not to mention she is soooooo great and patient with dogs! She gives you great advice and tells/show you how to properly go about doing things to help your fur baby succeed - in my case it's helping how to gain trust with a fearful dog. Definitely Recommend her!"

"CeCe is so incredibly patient and sweet with my reactive pup! She doesn't just train the dog, but teaches the human, too. She made me feel like I wasn't failing, but rather, just needed a nudge in the right direction. My dog and I have been able to accomplish so much after seeing CeCe!"
Kristina & Autumn - Aussie Mix
"I cannot recommend CeCe enough! I was at my wit's end with my counter-surfing terrier, and after just two months of working with CeCe, the transformation has been incredible. She not only helped my terrier stop this frustrating habit but also trained both of my dogs to become fun to walk and 100% better behaved.
CeCe's knowledge, patience, and dedication made a world of difference. My dogs love her, and I am beyond grateful for the results she's achieved. If you're looking for someone who can truly make a difference, CeCe is the trainer you need!"

ABOUT
CeCe's Pack
Dog are amazing companions who bring such joy and unconditional love to our lives. There is so much to learn about our canine companions and my clients are always amazed at how much more they understand about them after training.
My mission is to support and inspire dog owners and dogs to live happy and fulfilled lives. Dogs give us so much, but it is essential that we give them the proper leadership, training, clarity, structure, and fulfillment in order for them to thrive in our human world. I specialize in residential dog training, obedience and loose leash walking. I have had personal & professional experience training dogs to off leash recall, ecollar training, reactivity, resource guarding, resolving separation anxiety, and fulfilling high drive dogs and working K9's. I enjoy working with all breeds and drive levels.
I continually study and improve my skills and understanding of dogs, learning theory and training. One of the things I love about working with animals is that the learning is really endless! I have had the privilege of apprenticing with Master Trainer Jaymi Crook (crookK9.com) who is an expert in K9 training, residential dog training, board & train, and service dog training. He introduced me to decoy work, protection adn oder detection. I had the great priveledge of getting to assist in the training of obedience of two green K9's for a local casino helping to establish their K9 program. The mutual respect admiration and passion for dogs and the nuance of how to really effectively and clearly communicate with them is endlessly fascinating.
I have completed multiple certifications with the IACP, Robert Cabral's Trainer Certification, Brian Agnew’s Understanding your Dog’s Drives workshop, as well as multiple online certifications through Ivan Balabanov's TWC Online courses (Cornerstone Collection, Play is the Way, Helper Course) and Sit Stay Learn (Michael Ellis' Dog Training Decoded, Canine Communication with Larry Krohn, Reactivity with Method K9, From Novice to Pro with Nate Schumer, The Mark System Blueprint with Omar Von Muller). I am continually studying, practicing and improving my skills and knowledge of training techniques and styles.
I am a member in good standing of the IACP (International Association of Canine Professionals) and AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluator. I stay active with several resuces here in Vegas, I consult with fosters and owners for A Path 4 Paws and I have assisted group classes at Pawtastic Friends. I have assisted dogs at The Animal Network and I am a "blue level" volunteer for The Animal Foundation.
Of course, I am also a dedicated dog mom to four rescue dogs. You will often see them highlighted on my social media, and they will often who assist me in my work with other dogs and owners. Brady the Maltese Terrier, Bruno the Chihuahua/Min Pin, Brando the Border Collie/Kelpie, and Armando the American Staffordshire Terrier/American Pit Bull terrier have been instrumental in my learning and have given me so much more than I could possibly give them. My dogs have titled in AKC Trick Dog, NASDA Urban Hunt, Urban Locate, and AKC Herding Instinct. I am currently training and trialing in Agility & Barn Hunt. Your dog will really amaze you if you give them the opportunity!
I am licensed in the state of NV and the city of Las Vegas and fully insured for training & boarding (available only to client dogs).
Got a new dog? Bringing a puppy into your life? Are you fostering a dog? Maybe you just want to learn more about your dog and how to communicate with them and fulfill their needs. Don’t wait until there is an issue. Set yourself up for success from day one!
