Desiree Nelson

SEATTLE, WA

Desiree Nelson was born in Seattle, Washington, where she continues to reside. While fostering dogs and working with them as a Vet Tech for several years, she occasionally had to deal with some behavioral issues. She noticed there seems to be a lack of education in the industry where the more challenging dogs are concerned. To help such dogs have a better quality of life and stay in their happy homes, she knew the key was to educate their owners.

It wasn’t until a representative from Lorenzo’s Dog Training Team came into her workplace to hold a Lunch and Learn that she knew this could be the solution. She was so impressed with the way the LDTT trainer handled her own Great Dane that she wanted to know more. Desiree became a trainer with LDTT a short time later.

Her main goal is to keep dogs out of shelters, and when she’s not saving dogs, Desiree enjoys paddle boarding and kayaking on Puget Sound, taking her dogs hiking in the mountains, and she recently joined an axe throwing league.
