I am a positive reinforcement trainer which means I don't use physical corrections that cause discomfort to the animal.

Why I became a dog trainer:

Training gives you a way to strengthen and improve your relationship with your pet in a way not many other things can.

My favorite part of being a dog trainer:

Getting to see the joy and excitement of owners when they learn a new trick or overcome a problem that had been causing them concern.

My #1 dog training tip:

Life is messy and there is no perfect pet owner. Focus on your pup and their progress and don't worry about anyone else's path to success.
