Administrative Assistant/Assistant Instructor
Lucille Young has been Doggy Bootcamp's administrative assistant for the past 11 years. She is also the assistant instructor, and is the perfect compliment to the classes. Since she started out as a pet owner, instead of being a professional dog trainer, it makes it even easier for the students to relate, and have more confidence in their own ability to train their dogs. Lucille utilizes her experience and insight to ensure that each student receives the proper amount of attention,guidance,and information to be successful.
