CSSP Staff Profiles
Cynda
February 14, I will be married 31 years. I also have a son from a previous marriage. I have a 5 year old granddaughter and a grandson that was born 4-13-10. We have 6 dogs and a cat. 4 of the dogs are Alaskan Malamutes, 1 is a Pomeranian, and 1 is a Pit mix. Two of the Malamutes are mine and have their AKC Championships, and I have put two working titles on each of them. I have also titled a dog in Oklahoma.
I have worked at CSSP since June 2010. My main job is cleaning and "Crowd Control" I have also learned how to work the dogs under the guidance of Todd and Marie. I took my first "formal" obedience class in the summer of 2010. I have always trained my dogs to Come, Sit, and Down, but learning Todd's way made it much easier.

I began training Vader at CSSP in 2008. I enjoyed learning the lessons and watching people and their dogs progress so much, that in 2009 I started training under Todd as his assistant. In 2010 I began working in the daycare, where I am your pet's "Dog Care Professional" Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday mornings. I am a Certified Professional Dog Trainer, an AKC CGC Evaluator, and also Certified in Pet First Aid and Pet CPR. Your pets are the reason why I love my job, and look forward to going to work!
My husband Robert and I have a 12 year old daughter named Ayanna, who is an avid animal lover. We have a Staffordshire Bull Terrier named Vader, who is now a Canine Good Citizen, a Pit Bull/Bulldog rescue named Pinky, who is working hard to get her CGC title, and a big grumpy cat named Puppy. We enjoy walking our dogs, going to the park, and hanging out in our yard. Our pets are part of the family, and that's how your pets are treated at Come Sit Stay and Play.

I have been working with animals since 2003 when I started working at a doggy daycare. I soon went on to start my career in veterinary medicine. In 2009 I passed the Veterinary Technician National Exam to become a Certified Technician.
In June 2010 I started part time at Come, Sit, Stay, and Play and enjoy learning more about dog training and behavior. My boyfriend, Paul, and I share our home with Benny, a Boxer (and Canine Good Citizen!) and Minga, a Greyhound Mix.
