Creating Freedom by Empowering Dogs & Their People

I believe that understanding brings empathy and so I help people who are passionate about dogs to go from hopeless to optimistic by empowering them through fun, enriching and personalized training. No matter where you are in the world, I am here to help you & your dog.

My Mom told me that when I was a kid I could sit and watch the grass grow, but I told her, "I wasn't watching the grass grow, I was feeding the ants my chocolate chip cookies." This is me in a nutshell. I have always loved animals of all kinds. Observing their behaviors, trying to figure them out. That's why I started pet sitting at the age of twelve and training dogs when I was twenty. I can not imagine my life without animals in it. Now, I get to do something that I am passionate about every day; helping people understand their dogs, so that they can live amazing lives together!

I believe in being compassionate with animals and I'm thankful that modern, scientifically proven dog training techniques work with the same principals. Positive reinforcement training is scientifically proven to be the most humane and most effective form of training, but when you pair it with playing games, you get so much more!!

By playing games with our dogs, we change their behaviors, build an amazing bond and have the trust and freedom we always hoped for when we got our dogs in the first place. I truly believe training should be fun for both dog and human and that doing it right will last a life time.
