I have over 10 years of experience in the pet industry. I specialize in behavior modification for dogs with reactive behaviors, high-drives, and aggression; however, I work with all breeds, ages, and temperaments. The well-being of all dogs (and people) in my care is my top priority, and I work to ensure that my methods are safe, gentle, and—above all else—kind.

 

Certifications: AKC CGC

With over 5 years of experience specializing in training dogs with reactivity and aggression, I have honed a deep understanding of these complex behaviors and their underlying causes. My approach integrates fear-free techniques and positive reinforcement methods to help dogs overcome reactivity and aggression issues effectively. Through patient and tailored training plans, I have successfully rehabilitated numerous dogs, empowering them to respond calmly and confidently in challenging situations. My commitment extends beyond behavior modification to include educating owners on proactive management strategies, achieving sustainable long-term results. My endeavors in all aspects of dog training and behavior encompass a comprehensive approach aimed at nurturing well-rounded canine companions. From bite prevention education to promoting physical fitness through AKC Fit Dog, and even serving as a FETCH judge, I am dedicated to enhancing every facet of a dog's life. By integrating diverse skills and knowledge, I strive to empower dog owners with the tools to train positively, maintain their pet's physical health, and engage in enriching activities that strengthen the human-canine bond. Through ongoing education and hands-on experience, I am committed to building a community where dogs thrive mentally, physically, and emotionally.
