Starting my training endeavor after having a childhood dog with issues of attacking other dogs and being just an absolute maniac on the streets, but a lover in the home. I wanted to learn more and be able to enjoy outings with my dog instead of leaving them at home due to things I thought I couldn't control. After some YouTube videos and applying some training to my first dog (Nyx), I found that not only did I love the results, but I enjoyed the process of watching my dog learn and thrive in her life. That promoted me to quit my job in the health care industry and pursue dog training as a full time job. I went on to receive accreditations and worked training on as many dogs as I could get my hands on. My second dog (Zigi) was more than a handful. He straight duped me whenI saw him in the shelter so lovable and happy guy, the staff did warn me He doesn't like all people, especially kids and definitely NOT dog-friendly. As a new dog trainer, I thought that's fine, I can train him. Oh was I so wrong! I didn't have near the informed needed or the skills to be able to train his level of anxiety and insecurity. Zigi is the dog that changed my life. I went to several different trainers seeking more information and advice on training and struggled for 4 years with positive reinforcement only. Sadly, that was not his journey, I turned to training tools and balanced training to get him on track and able to live our lives to the fullest. That was the best decision I have ever made and IT WORKED! I continued to intern with balanced trainers and learned techniques needed to specialize in reactivity/aggression rehab. Fast forward, I've trained and worked with thousands of dogs. Teaching both the dogs and their owners how to communicate to each other and build beautiful and respectful relationships. My current dog (Poppy) is a well-trained serve dog, mini Australian Shepherd, and although she isn't perfect, she has exceeded all of my training expectations and I will always continue to seek out new techniques and training methods to be able to help any and all dogs build what's needed to stay in their homes.
