Why I became a dog trainer:

A lifetime of working in the animal care field including sheltering, I realized the best way to help animals and people was from the ground up. Teaching animals and people effective communication leads to happier pets and people in everything we do together. From sharing our home, getting the health care and grooming they need, to sharing the outside world, training makes life with dogs the best it can be!

My favorite part of being a dog trainer:

Teaching humans about dog behavior, body language and learning/communication turns on a lightbulb so everything is clearer.

My #1 dog training tip:

Be keen observers of your dog's communication and voice, listen closely and respond compassionately always.
