From a childhood love for animals to a decade-long career as a service and pet dog trainer, my journey is rooted in a passion for canine companionship. Inspired by my own service dog, Rex, I’ve earned certifications in learning theory, dog behavior, and training. Over the past decade, I’ve split my time between working for a non-profit organization, specializing in aiding veterans and individuals with disabilities, and simultaneously establishing and growing my own dog training company. Offering expertise in basic and advanced obedience, public access training, task training, and pet dog training, I celebrate victories, big and small, while remaining dedicated to empowering clients on their unique journeys with dogs.
