I am a passionate advocate for positive reinforcement training methods that enhances a dog’s ability to learn while increasing confidence, resulting in a healthy well- adjusted pet. I believe that teaching dogs should be informed by science, rooted in compassion, and centered on choice. In this spirit, I aim to create a learning environment that is safe, empowering, and accessible for every dog and person.

When we look beyond the outdated idea of “obedience” and instead focus on empowering our dogs with the skills to live successfully alongside us and increase their ability to have control and make choices, we help create happy and well-adjusted companions.

I have loved dogs and all animals my entire life. I grew up living with multiple animals. I currently live with nineteen dogs and two cats. I am committed to helping dogs and their parents walk the training path together through knowledge, understanding and education. Positive reinforcement training brings out the best in our dogs and in us.

I have been professionally working with & training dogs for 40 years. As a dog trainer, I am dedicated to helping clients that want to have a well-mannered companion they can do all of the fun things together – from hanging out at home to enjoying being out in public or travelling on vacation together.

Whether you have one dog or you live with a multi dog household, need help with basic training or seeking help with behavioral issues, I welcome the opportunity to work with you. My mission is to help you, and your best friend live in harmony and develop a relationship that is based mutual respect and trust.

We strongly advocate that training should be positive and consistent. Training isn’t just about commands- it’s about guidance, balance, structure, clear communication and patience.

We offer a broad range of educational programs and services, such as obedience classes, puppy kindergarten, behavioral training, and more. Our goal is to help dog guardians better understand how their dogs learn and communicate, and how to effectively bridge that communication using proven positive reinforcement methods.
