Raven Creek K9 started in Northern New Jersey, where I started training my Rottweiler, ZEUS, in 2000. In July, 2002, I received my obedience dog training certificate from Animal Behavior & Training Associates, Inc. (ABTA). My personalized training methods have taught many owners how to make their dog a valuable part of their family.

After ZEUS received his Therapy dog certificate in 2003, I started looking for a dog vest for him. After a thorough internet search, I found several designs, but the lettering was generally on a small patch...THAT was not what I wanted. I wanted to declare THERAPY DOG so everyone could see it. My solution...? I designed my own vest and took it to be embroidered. Everyone loved it and suggested that I market it, so I did.

Many years later, I have my own embroidery machine and make custom-made vests.

ZEUS passed over the rainbow bridge in November 2009, at the age of 10. He earned his Therapy Dog title at the age of 1-1/2 and a Companion Dog (CD) title at the age of 2. He was a good dog...loving...obedient...playful...a great companion. He will be missed by many.
