 Tiffany has been passionate about working with animals since childhood. She is an Army veteran, where she first got into the working dog world. After returning home she started training pet dogs, with a strong foundation in Obedience and Behavior Modification. That journey started  in Ohio, and ended up taking her to the Tampa Bay Area in Florida. She  ran her own business there for over 4 years. Wanting to advance her skill set and get back into training working dogs, she attended a  workshop for trailing. Tiffany immediately fell in love with the  process, choosing to pick up and go to South Carolina to learn the art  of teaching trailing as well as teaching detection training. That choice has taken her all over the country, getting to work with police, military and Search & Rescue teams. She stayed in South Carolina for a year to learn, helping imprint dogs sold to police departments for  trailing and detection disciplines. Although she still travels to teach, she now resides in Mooresville North Carolina where she runs her dog  training business, Elevation K9. Tiffany has also been contracted  through her company to handle her personal K9 Hendrix for narcotics  detection at the Port of Miami, as well as other private companies.
