Trudy Gardner resides in Half Moon Bay, California with her two dogs, Gidget and Collin.  In 2004, she started started a Professional Pet Sitting business called "No Place like Home".  In 2007, she expanded her business after graduating with honors from the Animal Behavior College and becoming a Certified Dog Obedience Instructor.

"Once I began studying, I quickly realized I made every mistake in the book with my two dogs, Gidget (12) and Collin (8). Both were holy terrors when they were puppies. Now I know why!"

Before "No Place Like Home", Trudy left a 20 year career in Television and Radio to pursue her other passion in life; dogs!  "Being a correspondent for the NBA’s basketball/magazine show; “Inside Stuff”, was a career highlight.  I followed up as Host of my very own show on ESPN, called “Unbelievable Sports” and that was an even bigger kick!  Today I am so lucky to be able to say I am pursuing my true passion in life.  My life on t.v. was good but my life with dogs is great!"

"I chose A.B.C. (Animal Behavior College) because I liked their philosophy on training dogs. The curriculum is based on positive motivational training methods and behavioral problem solving.  The Program begins by teaching students how to build a proper canine/human relationship. Creating a relationship built on positive interaction and consistency can often deter future unwanted behavior problems, facilitate faster learning and even solve some existing behavioral challenges."
