Canine behaviorist, nutritionist, and Animal Behavior College Certified Dog Trainer offering dog behavior modification and pet nutrition services with a holistic focus. I specialize in aggression/reactivity but work with all behaviors. Learn to communicate effectively with your dog and ensure their mental and physical needs are met. I believe that misunderstandings surrounding canine behavior have led to behavior modification methods (or a lack of implementation of proper methods) that are not only ineffective but can actually worsen the behavior they are intending to change or cause additional behavioral problems. That’s why I feel it is so rewarding to teach owners to communicate with and understand their canine companions.

 

Certifications: AKC CGC

 

Job Title: Canine Behaviorist and Nutritionist

 

Training Equipment: Suggested equipment will vary depending on each individual dog. Putting equipment on a dog is not a solution on its own; a behavior modification curriculum must be practiced when using any equipment.

 

Training Philosophy: LIMA trainer. Boundaries and structure are essential to a healthy dog-human relationship, and dogs must be rewarded and incentivized to perform behaviors for us. Owners must truly understand their dog's behavior to make any meaningful change.

My holistic focus and comprehensive approach means that I believe a dog’s body language and physical cues, environment, exercise, nutrition, routine, and socialization history, and typical behavioral patterns must always be taken into account and considered to ensure that their needs are being met. Training is the most effective when all of these factors are taken into consideration to make sure the dog is getting the best foundation to start with. It is my life goal to learn everything I can about responsible dog care and ownership. I love researching and reading quality studies so I can make the best possible recommendations to my clients, training-related or not.
