Joy Richmond adopted her first
dog at the age of 12. The relationship she
developed with this companion fostered her
love of animals and fascination with animal
behavior and led her to obtain a BS in Animal
Sciences from the University of Illinois. Joy
continues to expand her knowledge of dog
care and advances in training and behavior
by reading books, articles and journals and
is pursuing her CPDT certification.
Her training philosophy is based on positive
reinforcement and focuses on improving the
communication between human and dog to
allow them to live together more comfortably.
She uses benevolent training methods that
she has acquired from her own experience,
as well as that of other trainers and
behaviorists. Her ability to “read” a dog’s
body language and knowledge of dog
thought processes, allow her to adjust her
training to each client’s needs. She believes
in using the dog’s brain, instead of pain. Her
method requires patience and reinforcement
by the owners, but produces a happy, loving,
well-mannered companion and strengthens
the bond between the owner and their dog.
Joy is currently enjoying the challenge of
training her Leonberger puppy, Kilo.
Joy is also a wonderful asset to TNK for
almost 3 years. Starting as a kennel tech
and now supervisor. Joy's future also brings
her an interest with the possibitly of dog
grooming.
We wish her the best of luck!

Phyllis Racine has had dogs all
her life. She has owned numerous American
Staffordshire Terriers, Rottweilers, and
German Sheppard. She currently has a
Basset Hound, a Tree Walking Coon Hound,
and an English Mastiff. Her Tree Walking
Coon Hound, Georgia, was a rescue from an
abusive family. When Phyllis first got
Georgia, at the age of 2, she was completely
shut down. Now she is a perfection in
progress.
Even though Phyllis works with her dogs at
home, she still wants to help other dogs.
She finished positive reinforcement training
through ABC Training. She learned alternate
training methods with a local trainer in
Lockport, IL.
Phyllis works with owners on potty training
and basic obedience. She likes the
challenge of training many different breeds.
Training dogs takes great patience from the
trainer and willingness to learn from the
dogs.
Phylis has been a wonderful asset to TNK
over the past 5 years. Starting as a kennel
tech to supervisor, now acting as kennel
manager. Her love of dogs has brought the
additional title of dog trainer. Phyllis's future
goals are to learn more about dog
aggression behaviors, signals and an
overall better understanding of the
Psychology of Dogs.
