What they say about themselves
Carol Stubblefield, the trainer behind Abundantlydogs, brings a background that includes competing in AKC obedience trials with her German Shepherd—where she describes earning a Companion Dog title with a near-perfect score—and volunteering with the California Rescue Dog Association. According to her site, she worked in another trainer's board-and-train program before launching her own business after passing her CPDT-KA certification exam in late 2022.
Her approach centers on in-home, one-on-one sessions throughout the Apple Valley area and surrounding High Desert communities. She describes her method as science-based and positive reinforcement-focused, with particular attention to fearful and reactive dogs. Her continuing education, as listed on her site, includes coursework with trainers known for aggression and reactivity work, including Michael Shikashio and Suzanne Clothier.
What sets this business apart from typical training operations is the additional services Stubblefield offers: she holds certifications in animal Reiki and serves as an ordained interfaith animal chaplain, providing hospice and end-of-life support for pet owners. Her site also mentions scholarships for Apple Valley residents and adopted dogs, along with sliding-scale pricing—an unusual offering in private dog training.
