Angelica has been in dog rescue for about a decade and has a deep passion for helping dogs and owners alike. She started up her own rescue organization in Jacksonville, NC in 2016 and has been helping dogs and their families ever since.
Upon dealing with some tough cases of aggression, reactivity, anxiety, etc., Angelica decided she wanted to expand her career into dog training, so that she could help solve so many of the problem behaviors she sees on a daily basis.
Upon completion of an extensive internship in 2022, Angelica joined the AvidDog team and has helped countless families learn to enjoy their dogs by providing top notch training services and building client relationships.
Sydney got into professional training after sending her own personal dogs to a board and train program. After over a month of rehabilitation training and their return home, she fell in love with working with her dogs. Training changed their lives as a family and her dogs ultimately had more freedom. As her passion grew with working with her own dogs, she knew she wanted to help other owners experience the benefits of having a well-trained dog, just like she did.
Sydney attended a three-month intensive training academy in Virginia where she received accreditation as a Professional Dog Trainer. After working with the company for a couple months once her academics ended, she relocated back to Wilmington, NC in April of 2023 to start her journey as an AvidDog Trainer.
Aly got her start in dog training as a young teen. She worked in both veterinary and grooming clinics and found her passion for learning about dog behavior in the process. After adopting a Senior Retired Police K9, Aly fell in love with Working Dogs and acquired her own Belgian Malinois puppy, Korra. Aly continues to train Korra in a variety of fields: Protection Sports, Detection, CGC, Dock Diving, and more. Aly's wide set of skills allows her to tailor her training approach with each and every dog she works with.
When Aly is not training dogs, she is hanging out with her 2 year old son, Jameson and supporting her husband, who is active in the United States Marine Corps.
