I promote a force-free approach to a mutually cooperative relationship with your pet in East Tennessee and the surrounding area. A Licensed Veterinary Medical Technician, I have 35 years of professional experience and more than 20 years of experience as a reward-based animal trainer. Before starting my own animal training business in 2021, I worked with a board-certified veterinary behaviorist for 10 years. The scope of services I offer ranges from basic manners, to help make living with your pet more enjoyable, to specialized behavior modification for more serious behavior problems.
