My core belief is that training should always be fun, for both the human and the dog!

I began my journey as a professional dog trainer after I realized the dog that I had adopted had severe anxiety and aggression towards other dogs and humans. After working with a positive reinforcement trainer, I was inspired by the change I saw in my dog's life to become a professional trainer myself, with a particular interest in aggression and anxiety. I believe in using only science-supported positive reinforcement techniques, especially in cases with aggression, when aversive techniques may only suppress behavior rather than addressing the underlying cause.

Since I began training professionally, I have worked with service dogs, aggression cases, and basic obedience, as well as trick training. In addition to the CPDT-KA certification, I am also an AKC Canine Good Citizen evaluator. If you are struggling with your dog's behavior, I would love to schedule a consult!
