My name is Joe Blankenship, and I am a Certified Associate Dog Trainer. I am now bringing my knowledge and excellence to the Central Illinois area. I completed my training in 2006 and I became an Approved Humane Investigator through Illinois Humane in 2014. My compassion for the well-being of dogs started in High School where I was a kennel technician and later became a veterinary assistant before attending the Tom Rose School.
