A Combat Veteran With A Passion For Dog Training
​
Tammy J. Hamilton, the founder of Click for Manners, never anticipated becoming a dog trainer. It wasn't until she was seeking a way to live with PTSD that she discovered her passion for it. After receiving a companion dog named Rex from a veteran's organization, Tammy was determined to help him overcome his issues. She dove into researching and studying dog training through online courses and YouTube videos, using her military training to help her along the way. Tammy successfully trained Rex as a service dog and then began helping others do the same. She is a proud graduate of the Karen Pryor Academy, holding her certification as a Karen Pryor Academy Certified Professional Trainer (KPA-CPT).

When Passion Becomes Calling
'Being a Gulf War veteran has made me intimately familiar with the challenges of living with Chronic Pain and PTSD. My time spent working with rescue dogs taught me a lot about the communication challenges that dogs and their owners face.
From this experience, I came to appreciate that dogs are much
more than just pets, and I have made it my goal to help owners,
handlers, and learners (dogs) live happier lives.
Overall, my passion for dog training and helping others has led
me to a fulfilling and rewarding career and a way to give back
to my boys who are junior trainers as well.
My experience as a Combat Veteran, paired with my love for all
things dogs, has allowed me to make a positive impact in the
lives of both humans and animals alike".
