Dog Training Backed by Knowledge and Experience
My Story
I’ve been professionally training dogs for over six years, but my journey started with horses. I was a horse trainer before discovering my passion for dog behavior and communication. Everything changed when a neighbor left her dog in my care—what seemed like a simple favor quickly became a turning point. Her dog showed intense reactivity: lunging, growling, and struggling to cope with the world around her.
I knew I needed to learn more, so I began studying canine behavior, learning theory, and communication. I was fortunate to work with experienced professionals who helped shape my approach. Over time, I built a strong, trusting relationship with that dog and eventually trained her as my service dog.
As we trained in public, people began to take notice. I was often approached by dog owners who asked if I could help them too. What began as a personal learning experience evolved into a full-time business—one that I’m incredibly proud of.
Dog training isn’t just a job for me—it’s something I care deeply about. I love the dogs I work with, and I value the connection I get to build with every client. Helping people understand their dogs, and seeing that relationship grow, is what makes this work so rewarding.
