I train dogs using positive reinforcement techniques – if you’re looking for a choke, prong, or electric collar I am NOT for you! If you want to forge a strong bond with your dog built on trust, then I AM the trainer for you! I have been a full-time dog trainer for 11 years now, and offer private classes in the convenience of my customers’ homes, or at the places where their dog's behaviors need to be modified. In addition, I teach a wide variety of classes in Southern New Hampshire. I am an evaluator for the American Kennel Club, and teach classes for STAR Puppy, Canine Good Citizen, and Community Canine. I am also an evaluator the for the Association of Professional Dog Trainer’s Canine Life and Social Skills (C.L.A.S.S.) programs, and teach the Bachelor, Master, and PhD level courses. I reside happily in Southern New Hampshire with my husband, two teenaged boys, along with my Bulldog, Coton De Tulear, Leonberger, and lab mix, who, just perhaps, listen with more enthusiasm than my teenagers.
