I started my journey by getting a B.S. in Zoology and then moving on to the veterinary medicine field where I became a vet assistant for 4.5 years before starting my studies into becoming a dog trainer. Even though I have graduated from the Victoria Stilwell Academy’s online dog trainer course, I plan on continuing my education further as there is always something new to learn and the field of dog training is vast.

My goal is to give you the tools to be able to learn how to train your dog and tackle undesired behaviors to help you reach your goals. We’ll use positive reinforcement methods to give your dog their best chance at success and long-term results, while also building a bond with your dog and hopefully having some fun!

All of my services are done one-on-one either at your home, online, or at your vet/groomer’s facility. I offer lessons for teaching your dog basic cues like sit, come, stay, etc. along with solving minor undesired behaviors like running out the door, jumping up on people, pulling on leash, etc. If you do not have a lot of time to train your dog, I offer Day Training. This entails me coming to your home and training your dog’s foundations for you, but I still meet up with you after every few sessions to go over what your dog has learned and how to continue your training.

As someone who was a vet assistant before becoming a trainer, I am passionate about cooperative care and making vet/grooming appointments less stressful, along with any care you need to give your dog at home like ear or eye medications, nail trims, and more. This is accomplished with “Happy visits” to facilities, and getting your dog to be able to tolerate vet and grooming care by creating more positive associations with these tasks. With this you have less restraining of your dog and chasing them around to get things done! It’s not only less stressful for your dog, but for you and your vet/grooming staff as well.

I also offer puppy packages where we go over all things puppies like housebreaking, along with learning important cues like come and leave it. We will also cover important topics like socialization and body language to equip you with information that will help you be the best pup parent possible.
I’m there for you and your dog.
