Whitney Broekstra, Owner and Head Trainer

BA, VSA-CDT

Aloha! I am a certified dog trainer through the Victoria Stilwell Academy for Dog Training and Behavior. Before I began my dog training journey I spent over 10 years training animals in public aquariums. I am also a former veterinary assistant and professional dog walker. I pursued dog training after adopting my dog Presley, and seeing first hand how positive training generated amazing results with my canine companion.

I started Dakine Canine to help other dogs and their humans live harmoniously together. I believe all dogs are the best and I love helping people bring out the best in their dogs.
