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 and Behavior Consultant, 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 hold a certificate in applied animal behavior through the University of Washington. I am also an AKC CGC and Trick Dog Evaluator.
