I care and understand that pets are more than just animals – they are part of the family. That's why I treat every pet as if they were our own. As a dog trainer, I am committed to not only teach dogs but teach dog parents how to communicate with their dogs to understand them better and to help build and/or maintain a happy relationship. My mission is to ensure that every dog is taught skills in a humane, respectful, and successful way. My goal is teach pet parents why positive training methods are the best way to train dogs and why aversive techniques and tools don't work in the long run.
Meet Max. He is the shelter dog who propelled me to do what I do. He was adopted and then returned after resource guarding his food. The man who adopted him pinned Max to the ground to stop his growling and because of this he bit. After this incident, Max wasn't the same. He was less trusting. He needed help that he didn't get in the shelter. After months of isolation he was euthanized. He was one of many who lost his life because of human stupidity. And he is the reason why got all my certifications and teach people about positive dog training.
I started my animal career working at a dog daycare. After that I worked in multiple animal shelters. I am Fear-Free certified, Pet First Aid & CPR certified, and have certifications in Animal Behavior, Dog Training, and Aggression in Dogs. Dogs struggling with fear-based aggression is my specialty.
