I became passionate about dog training in 2001 as an owner of a dog-reactive dog.

I was searching for a mentor to help me and my dog build a better relationship with each other, and the world around us. My mentor walked me through the science behind dog training, and together, we overcame the fear-based reactivity in my own dog. I was inspired by the positive reinforcement techniques I had learned and wanted to give others the gift of effective, force-free dog training. 

I am a Certified Professional Dog Trainer, as well as
a member of the Pet Professional Guild 
(member number 48310054.)
I’m always learning more about science-based training techniques at conferences and seminars around the country. I also hold a certificate in applied animal behavior through the University of Washington.
I am also an AKC CGC and Trick Dog Evaluator.

I have been passionate about dogs for as long as I can remember. "Dog" was the very first word I spoke. After achieving a Bachelor's Degree in Audio Engineering and working closely with artists for over a decade in the music business, I decided to get back to my original passion and apply my refined communication skills to a career in dog training.

I am thankful to be the guardian of an affectionate, goofy boxer named Gizmo and I largely credit him for this path. When I brought him home I did not know he was deaf. Upon quickly realizing that he was different, I entrenched myself in research about force-free, positive reinforcement training. As I began working with him, any initial worries I had about being able to communicate with him quickly faded away. Training a deaf dog wasn't harder than training a regular dog, it was just different. I was amazed at how attentive, eager and smart he was, as well as how training together was not only fun, but fostered a bond like no other I've had with a dog. I was hooked.

​

I began working at a doggy daycare, which led to my pursuits as a dog trainer. I am dedicated to continuing education and believe scientifically sound techniques, compassion, and a focus on dogs' welfare are paramount in effective, humane training. I strive to provide people with the knowledge and skills they need to foster positive relationships with their dogs and set them up for a lifetime of success together!

I am in the process of obtaining my certification as a dog trainer through the Karen Pryor Academy and through the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers.
