About Victoria Harrison
Victoria discovered her love for training dogs at just eight years old, when she taught the biggest Rottweiler at her local dog park to roll over. Years later, while attending a puppy program with her first dog, she realized that dog training could become more than a hobby—it could be a career.
She began her professional journey at Bideawee, where she gained hands-on experience working with shelter dogs and developed a strong foundation in behavior and handling. From there, she continued her growth at Petco as a dog trainer. While she loved her early experiences there, she soon felt inspired to deepen her knowledge and pursue more advanced training opportunities. Her mentor recognized her natural talent and encouraged her to take the next step toward becoming a professional trainer.
Victoria started taking on private clients in local parks, and in October 2024, she met Michael’s Pack Manager Phil Smith, who became an important supporter in her career. He encouraged her to work toward her certification, stayed in touch throughout her studies, and celebrated with her when she earned her CPDT-KA in March 2025.
Now, Victoria is a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA) and a proud member of the team here at Michael’s Pack, where she continues to grow, learn, and help dogs and their families thrive.
