About Me

ABOUT ME

My first passion in life has always been working with animals. I have been working with dogs professionally since 2013 and previously held a certification as a Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA). I am also a skilled and experienced behaviorist and problem solver. 

I work with dogs of all breeds, ages and temperaments, including fearful and aggressive dogs. I utilize gentle positive reinforcement, behavioral therapy, desensitization and counter conditioning methods in my training. I am a passionate advocate for increasing the owner/dog bond and want to make sure my clients understand how to identify behavioral issues and practical ways to remedy them. Although I do teach the dogs necessary skills, it's the owner I train. I am not afraid to get my hands dirty or go the extra mile to make sure you and your pup(s) have a happy and rewarding experience!
