My goal is to help you have a great relationship with your dog.
I have two decades of dog experience. I primarily use positive reinforcement training techniques.
I have worked and volunteered at animal shelters, fostered many dogs, trained service dogs for people with disabilities, taught group dog classes, dabbled in several dog training disciplines, competed and earned many titles in Rally-O and Agility. I’m a long-time member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers and regular participant at their educational seminars. I continue to study and be fascinated by animal behavior and dog behavior in particular.
I have studied dogs, training, and behavior in detail for many years. I didn't just learn from watching popular TV shows.
I’m available to travel from Blue Lake to Fortuna to Trinidad and beyond.
