I've been a trainer for 5 years and started my career with dogs 8 years ago working in a doggie day care. I soon became a certified dog trainer and started my first job as a behavior specialist in a shelter. I then moved on to start my own business training inside pet parents homes and coaching them towards the best life with their dog.

Behavioral issue focus:

Dog training methods:

All training is done primarily with positive reinforcement. We train with science based, force free methods.

Why I became a dog trainer:

I love dogs more than life itself! I have always been so passionate about animals. I found training and behavior incredibly interesting and dove into it as soon as I could. I couldn't imagine doing anything else!

My favorite part of being a dog trainer:

Watching a dogs behavior transform through positive and kind training methods. I also love watching their bond with their human grow stronger with each lesson. It's so beautiful to be able to help people through really difficult times with their dogs and coach them towards a better relationship

My #1 dog training tip:

Treat your dog how you would like to be treated if you were in their place.
