Why I became a dog trainer:

I started training dogs to better understand my own rescue pups. In time, I realized I could build a training business and share my passion and skills with the community.

My favorite part of being a dog trainer:

Spending the day with dogs!

My #1 dog training tip:

Your dog responds to your energy and attitude. Most of the time, their behavioral issues are a reflection of you or other humans they've interacted with.
