About the Trainer
Maureen Skroly graduated from State University of New York in 1991 as a Veterinary Technician. This began her career working with animals. As an avid dog trainer in obedience and agility, she was frequently called upon in the Veterinary practice to help clients with behavior problems. In 2001 she began training in K9 Search and Rescue. This experience expanded her knowledge of positive reinforcement and teaching others. She taught both puppy and advanced classes as well as being an evaluator.

She is certified as a Pet Dog Trainer through Animal Behavior College.

With her Search and Rescue partners “Milton” and “Harry” she obtained the certifications of:
•National Association of Search and Rescue-Canine SARTECH II-Area Search Dog
•National Association of Search and Rescue-Canine Disaster Responder
•National Association of Search and Rescue-Canine SARTECH Human Remains Detection-Land
•National Association of Search and Rescue-Canine SARTECH Human Remains Detection-Disaster
•K-9 Advanced Cadaver Search Certification from K-9 Specialty Search Associates

Currently, she devotes her time to training pet dogs and their owners, and as a leader/evaluator and therapy team with Keystone Pet Enhanced Therapy (KPETS). Maureen gained experience training deaf dogs with her deaf double merle, Kaiba. She has since helped several clients in training their deaf dogs as well.
