As you can see, Nathan T. Woods, the owner and operator
of Santa Barbara Pet Services has been working with animals since he was a child. He has won countless awards and
honors for his work with canines.
Nathan had the great privilege and honor of apprenticing under
professional dog handler, Ricky Justice while he campaigned the magnificent:

Best in Show Awards. She won the ABC Top 20 Competition in 1997 and was BOB at the American Boxer Club Regional in 1997.
Stardust was ranked #2 Boxer in the U.S. in 1998 and 1999, and she was ranked #4 Working Dog in 1999.
Apprenticing under some of the top dog handlers and trainers in the nation, Nathan
Woods has learned effective training methods to help you establish an understanding relationship with your pet companion.
Nathan started off his apprentership program under professional handler, Connie Alexander (pictured above

most of the points on Nathan's first champion Boxer, Michaela.
