Kimberly Bobka began training at a young age, teaching her family pets and neighbors’ dogs basic obedience commands. She’s loved dogs since she was just a baby. At age 14 she met a trainer/breeder located in Chicago with whom she learned a great deal of knowledge from and it inspired her to further pursue a career in dog training. She volunteered at several shelters and worked at Save-A-Pet in Rolling Meadows caring for dogs that desperately needed homes.
Later Kimberly began training and showing her dogs in Obedience and Agility and in 1993 established TEACHER’S PET K-9 SCHOOL, located in Streamwood, Illinois. Kimberly began helping people understand and enjoy a better relationship with their beloved pets. Basic and Advanced Obedience, Problem Solving and Agility were the main services Teacher’s Pet offered. After three years of satisfied customers, many clients were requesting care for pets while they were away on vacation, so Kimberly added Pet Sitting to her list of services provided by Teacher’s Pet.
In 1995, Kimberly began dog training for several Police Officers and FBI agents in surrounding cities. Training 100 to 200 dogs per year, she became familiar with all types of breeds, temperaments and behaviors, as well as, training for Hoffman Estates Park District and providing Seminars on dog training and behavior. In 1997, Kimberly began training dogs and people in Therapy work and certified her half German Shepherd half Pitbull mix through TDI. She also provided Seminars in nursing homes about training, behavior and Therapy work. In 1999, she began working with many shelters and rescues to help re-train and rehabilitate abused and/or misunderstood dogs. Kimberly has also attended numerous Seminars on Canine Behavior and training to further her abilities as an instructor.
In 2000, Kimberly moved Teacher’s Pet K-9 School to Sycamore, Illinois where she also added Boarding and Boarding School to the list of services provided by Teacher’s Pet. Also in 2000, she became a Certified Obedience Instructor and began training for Animal Behavior & Training Associates in Petco stores. Soon after, Petco hired Kimberly as their own training instructor for two of their store locations. Kim was also the Head Trainer for Invisible Fence for 6 months. In 2003, she began offering Doggie Day Care to clients who want more socialization and exercise for their dogs. Kimberly’s expertise in canine behavior and temperaments essentially match dogs with similar personalities for day care safety.
In 2004, Kimberly became a Certified AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluator and added Canine Good Citizen classes to the growing list of services offered by Teacher’s Pet K-9 School. She also began training Basic Obedience classes for the Hampshire Park District. Kimberly trains all breeds including rare breeds and specializes in Rottweilers and German Shepherds. Over the years she has owned Rottweilers, German Shepherds, Giant Schnauzers, Belgian Malinois’ and a German Shepherd Pitbull mix. Kimberly believes in positive reinforcement using treats and praise, redirection, as well as correction. She does NOT believe in abusive methods.
