Lindsey Tkaczyk

Trainer/Owner

Lindsey started her dog training career as a young adult by seeking out and gaining canine experience through various jobs, such as doggie daycare, boarding, working as a veterinary technician and training. Her most rewarding training experience was while she was living in Nashville, TN, and had the opportunity to work with a local men’s prison and a greyhound rescue where they would teach the inmates how to train basic obedience to the retired greyhounds so they would be better suited for adoption to loving families. It was so exciting to see the bond between these dogs and the inmates through positive communication!

Most recently, Lindsey has become obsessed with elevating her skills by immersing herself in the sport of PSA (Protection Dog Association). She has achieved her Level 2 Title with her Belgian Malinois, Aero, and is now training in the Level 3, which is the highest level that PSA offers. In 2023, Lindsey and Aero competed on a National level, achieving Vice Champion and earning their 3rd leg of their Level 2. She has also been ranked as a coveted Certified PSA Decoy, which allows her to travel around the country and internationally to test these dogs at trials. She has decoyed in South Africa, as well as the U.K. There’s just something exciting about being a strong female who can catch dogs, but mainly she is excited to continue learning how to develop a dog in, what she believes to be, one of the toughest dog sports there is!

Lindsey is an IACP Member (International Association of Canine Professionals) and continues to further her education through weekly training amongst other peer professionals, online courses and in-person seminars.
