Flynt
TRAINER
Flynt was born and raised in San Francisco, where his love for dogs began early. Whether it was playing with street dogs in India or stopping to interact with leashed dogs on the street, Flynt always felt a strong connection to them. At the age of 7, his childhood dog Annie became his constant companion, and together they enjoyed trick training, hikes, and playing fetch.
During a break in his undergraduate studies in Marine Biology, Flynt worked at a San Francisco dog shelter, where he adopted his first dog as an adult, a young Mexico rescue mutt named Shelly. Shelly’s reactivity to kids, dogs, and anything on wheels led Flynt to work with a professional trainer, igniting his passion for dog training. Through improved communication and obedience skills, Shelly’s behavior transformed, allowing her to enjoy a more fulfilling life.
Flynt’s training journey continued as he worked with his trainer’s three Belgian Malinois, discovering Mondio and French Ring sport, which changed his life. Now, Shelly has a two-year-old Belgian Malinois brother, whom Flynt is training to compete in French Ring. When not hiking, training, or playing with client dogs, Flynt dedicates time to this endeavor.
Flynt believes that key elements to successful dog training include structure, clear communication, patience, balance, and prioritizing what motivates each dog to ensure they enjoy the journey. He is excited to be on the Skyes the Limit team.
